Ab
Hark the voice of Jesus callin'
Eb Ab
Come and work for him today
Ab
The fearless one, and the heart is fallin'
Eb Ab
Come and work for him today
Chorus:
Ab
You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Eb Ab
You've got to walk it by yourself
There's no one here that can go there with you
Eb Ab
You've got to go there by yourself
Ab
My mother told me when she's dyin'
Eb Ab
Just before her breath was gone
Ab
My darlin' boy, but trust in Jesus,
Eb Ab
for I leave you here alone
Chorus:
Ab
You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Eb Ab
You've got to walk it by yourself
There's no one here that can go there with you
Eb Ab
You've got to go there by yourself
Ab
Some people say John was a Baptist,
Eb Ab
others say he was a Jew
Ab
But the Holy Bible tells us
Eb Ab
That he was a preacher too
Chorus:
Ab
You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Eb Ab
You've got to walk it by yourself
There's no one here that can go there with you
Eb Ab
You've got to go there by yourself
