I watched you walk out from the world before
And nothin' asked you to be much more
Than just a hand full of dust
Oh, lonesome valley, lonesome valley
Oh, lonesome valley, lonesome valley
Out here the ghost wears the feathered crown
Of blues and the sickle moons
To watch over the lost horizon
Oh, the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley
Oh, through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley
Now I'm not worried about headin' back
I will be punished by a civil debt
If I've done enough but not my best
I turned my pain into a simple plan
Harmony onward friend
Draggin' myself out again
Oh, through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley
Oh, through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley
Now let the wolf judge me as I stand
Harmony onward friend
Until I see that old star again
High over the lonesome valley
High over the lonesome valley
