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 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 walking down the old valley road   Walk on, walk on alone   Walk on, walk on, walk on 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   But everybody knew what they were talking about      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 nothing really happened   And left him standing on the old valley road   Walk on, walk on alone   Walk on, walk on, walk on alone      Standing 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 alone   Walk on, walk on, walk on alone
