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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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