[00:00:00] The rev. Mr. Black - Faron Young

[00:00:00] Written by：Jed Peters/Billy Ed Wheeler

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

[00:00:07] At first you thought nothing but a streak of mean

[00:00:09] Could make a man look so downright strong

[00:00:12] But one look in his eyes and

[00:00:13] You know what you was wrong

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

[00:00:18] He could preach hot hell of freezin' snow

[00:00:21] He carried a bible in a canvas sack

[00:00:23] The folks just called him the reverend Mr Black

[00:00:26] He was poor as a beggar but he rode like a king

[00:00:29] And sometimes in the evening you could hear him sing

[00:00:33] I've gotta walk that lonesome valley

[00:00:37] I've gotta walk it by myself

[00:00:42] Oh nobody else can make it for me

[00:00:48] I've gotta walk it by myself

[00:00:53] I could have through this man in black

[00:00:56] Was sort or had any yellow up his back

[00:00:58] I gave that nation up the day

[00:01:01] A lumberjack came in and it want to pray

[00:01:04] And he kicked open that meetin' house door

[00:01:07] He cussed everybody up and down the floor

[00:01:10] Then when things get quiet in the place

[00:01:12] Walked up and cussed in the preacher's face

[00:01:15] And he hit that reverend like the kick of a mule

[00:01:18] To my way of thinking it took a pure fool

[00:01:21] To turn the other cheek to that lumberjack

[00:01:23] But that's what he did the reverend Mr Black

[00:01:27] Well he stood like a rock a man among men

[00:01:30] And he let that lumberjack hit him again

[00:01:32] Then with a voice as kind as could be

[00:01:35] He cut him down like a big oak tree

[00:01:37] When he said you've gotta walk that lonesome valley

[00:01:43] You've gotta walk it by yourself

[00:01:47] Oh nobody else can make it for you

[00:01:53] You've gotta walk it by yourself

[00:01:59] It's been many years since we had to part

[00:02:01] And I guess I've learned his ways by heart

[00:02:04] I can still hear his sermonts ring

[00:02:06] Down in the valley where he used to sing

[00:02:09] I followed his yes sir and I don't regret it

[00:02:12] And I hope that I can be of credit

[00:02:15] To his memory if I want you understand the

[00:02:18] Reverend Mr Black was my old man

[00:02:21] You've gotta walk that lonesome valley

[00:02:26] You've gotta walk it by yourself

[00:02:30] Oh nobody else can make it for you

[00:02:36] You've gotta walk it by yourself
