| You gotta walk that lonesome valley | 
| And you gotta walk, walk it by yourself | 
| Nobody else can walk it for you | 
| You gotta walk, walk it by yourself | 
| Jesus walked this lonesome valley | 
| And he had to walk it by Himself | 
| Nobody else could walk it for Him | 
| He had to walk, walk it by Himself | 
| Oh, you gotta walk that lonesome valley | 
| Oh, you gotta go there by yourself | 
| Nobody else can walk it for you | 
| You gotta walk, walk it by yourself | 
| You must go and stand your trials | 
| You have to stand it by yourself | 
| Nobody else can stand it for you | 
| You have to stand it by yourself | 
| Oh, you gotta walk that lonesome valley | 
| Oh, you gotta walk it by yourself | 
| Nobody else is gonna walk it for you | 
| You gotta walk, walk it by yourself | 
| Some folks say that old John was a baptist | 
| Some folks say he was a Jew | 
| But the Bible claim, it plainly tells us | 
| That old Johnny was a preacher, too | 
| Oh, you gotta walk that lonesome valley | 
| Yeah, you gotta walk it by yourself | 
| Nobody else is gonna walk it for you | 
| You gotta walk, walk by yourself | 
| You gotta walk that lonesome valley | 
| You gotta walk it by yourself | 
| Nobody else is gonna walk it for you | 
| You gotta walk, walk by yourself… |
