Sometimes, I lead
Sometimes, I follow
This time I`ll go where
She wants me to go

She said, maybe today
Maybe tomorrow
Go deep in the woods
Down the low valley road

While no one was looking
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 all alone

Out in the hall
They were talking in a whisper
Everybody noticed
She was gone awhile

Somebody said
She`s gone to her sister`s
But everybody knew
What they were talking about

Oh, while no one was looking
On the old plantation
He showed her what they do
Down the long valley road
She came back around
Like nothing really happened
Left him standing
On the old valley road

Walk on, walk on
Walk on alone
Walk on, walk on
Walk on, walk on
On the old valley road

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Standing like a stone
On the old plantation
The rich old man
Would have never let him in
Good enough to hire
Not good enough to marry
When it all happens, nobody wins

Walk on, walk on
Walk on alone
Walk on, walk on
Walk on, walk on
All alone
