The Valley Road

Sometimes I lead, sometimes I follow This time I'll go where she wants me to go She said, "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow Gonna go deep in the woods down the low valley road" While no one was lookin' on the old plantation He took her all the way down the long valley road They sent her away not too much later And left him walking down the old valley road Walk on, walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on alone Out in the hall they were talking in a whisper Everybody noticed she was gone awhile Somebody said, "She's gone to her sisters" Everybody knew, what they were talking about While no one was lookin' on the old plantation He took her all the way down the long valley road They sent her away not too much later And left him walking down the old valley road Walk on, walk on, gonna walk on alone Gonna walk on alone, gonna walk on alone Walk on, walk on, gonna walk on alone Walk on, walk on, gonna walk on alone
