I
must walk my lonesome valley
I
got to walk it for myself,
Nobody
else can walk it for me,
I
got to walk it for myself
I
must go and stand my trial,
I
got to stand it for myself,
Nobody
else can stand it for me,
I
got to stand it for myself.
Jesus
walked his lonesome valley,
He
had to walk it for himself,
Nobody
else could walk it for him,
He
had to walk it for himself.
