《Reverend Mr. Black》歌词

[00:00:04] He rode easy in the saddle he was tall and lean

[00:00:06] And at first you thought nothing but a streak of mean

[00:00:09] Could make any man look so down right strong

[00:00:11] But one look in his eyes and you knowed you was wrong

[00:00:15] He was a mountain of a man and I want you to know

[00:00:17] He could preach hot hell or freezing snow

[00:00:20] He carried a bible in a canvas sack

[00:00:22] And folks just called him the reverend mr black

[00:00:26] He was poor as a beggar

[00:00:27] But he rode like a king

[00:00:28] Sometimes in the evening

[00:00:29] I could hear him sing

[00:00:31] I gotta walk that lonesome valley

[00:00:36] I got to walk it by myself

[00:00:40] Aingt nobody else can walk it for me

[00:00:46] I got to walk it by myself

[00:00:51] If ever I could have thought this man in black

[00:00:53] Was soft and had any yellow up his back

[00:00:56] I gave that notion up one day

[00:00:58] A lumberjack came in and it wasn't to pray

[00:01:01] Yeah he kicked open the meeting house door

[00:01:04] And he cussed everybody up and down the floor

[00:01:06] Then when things got quiet in the place

[00:01:08] He walked up and cussed in the preacher's face

[00:01:12] He hit that reverend like the kick of a mule

[00:01:14] And to my way of thinking it took one pure fool

[00:01:17] To turn the other cheek to that lumberjack

[00:01:19] But that's what he did the reverend mr black

[00:01:23] He stood like a rock a man among men

[00:01:25] Then he let that lumberjack hit him again

[00:01:27] And then with a voice as kind as could be

[00:01:30] He cut him down like a big oak tree when he said

[00:01:33] You gotta walk that lonesome valley

[00:01:38] You got to walk it by youself

[00:01:42] Oh nobody else can walk it for you

[00:01:47] You got to walk it by myself

[00:01:52] It's been many years since we had to part

[00:01:55] And I guess I learned his ways by heart

[00:01:57] Cause I can still hear his sermon's ring

[00:02:00] Down in the valley where he used to sing

[00:02:03] I followed him yes siree and I don't regret it

[00:02:06] I hope I will always be a credit

[00:02:07] To his memory 'cause I want you to understand

[00:02:10] The reverend mr black was my old man

[00:02:13] You gotta walk that lonesome valley

[00:02:18] You got to walk it by myself

[00:02:23] Oh nobody else can walk it for me

[00:02:28] You got to walk it by myself

[00:02:33] You got to walk that lonesome valley

[00:02:38] You got to walk it by yourself

[00:02:42] Oh nobody else can walk it for you

[00:02:45] You got to walk it by yourself
