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
 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
 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
 Everybody knew what they were talking about
 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
 The old valley road
 Standing like a stone on the old plantation
 The rich old man would've 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
