Sometimes I lead
Sometimes I follow
This time I'll go
where she wants me to go
Said maybe today
Maybe tomorrow
Deep in the woods
Down the low valley road
No one was lookin'
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 walkin'
down the old valley road
Walk on
Walk on walk on alone
Walk on walk on
Walk on walk alone
Out in the hall
they were talkin' in a whisper
Everybody noticed
she was gone awhile
Somebody said
She's gone to her sister's
Everybody knew
what they were talkin' about
Oh while no one was lookin'
on the old plantation
He showed her what they do
down the long valley road
She came back around
Like nothin' really happened
Left him standin'
on the old valley road
Walk on
Walk on walk on alone
Walk on walk on
Walk on walk on
On the valley road
Standin' 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 alone alone
