We've got to walk it by ourselves
There's nobody here can walk it for us
We've got to walk it by ourselves

He's got to walk it by his self

My mother's got to walk this lonesome valley
She's got to walk it by herself
There's nobody here can walk it for her
She's got to walk it by herself

You've got to walk it by yourself
There's nobody here can walk it for you
You've got to walk it by yourself

Everybody's got to walk this lonesome valley
We've got to walk it by ourselves
There's nobody here can walk it for us
We've got to walk it by ourselves
