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
