The Kingston Trio Miscellaneous Reverend Mr. Black Reverend Mr. Black Artists: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 8 in 1963) Words and Music by Billy Edd Wheeler, Jed Peters, Jerry Lieber, and Mike Stoller He rode easy in the saddle, he was tall and lean And at first ya thought nothin?but a streak of mean Could make a man look so downright strong But one look in his eyes and ya knowed ya was wrong He was a mountain of a man and I want ya to know He could preach hot hell in the freezin?snow He carried a bible in a canvas sack The folks just called him the Reverend Mr. Black He was poor as a beggar but he rode like a king And sometimes in the evenin?I could hear him sing I got to walk that lonesome valley I got to walk it by myself for nobody else can walk it for me I got to walk it by myself. If ever I could have thought this man in black Was soft , had any yellow up his back I gave that notion up the day A lumberjack came in and a-wasnt a-praying I followed him, yes sir, and I dont regret it Hope that Ill always be a credit to his memory cause I want ya to understand The Reverend Mr. Black was my old man You got to walk that lonesome valley You got to walk it by yourself for nobody else can walk it for you You got to walk it by yourself. You got to walk that lonesome valley FADE: You got to walk it by yourself for nobody Transcribed by Ronald E. Hontz ronhontz@worldnet.att.net |
