Will Kimbrough - Walking In The Valley Of The Shadow Lyrics

I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
But I have no cause for fear
I can hear the devil whisper in my ear
Or maybe it's the night wind howling
See I ain't from around here
I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
I have no cause for fear

How long must I wander? How long must I roam?
Why I was cast asunder, I don't know
Guess I must've said the wrong thing
To the wrong rich man in Rome
How long must I wander? How long must I roam?

Cause I've been walking of the shadow
I have no cause for shame
I did nothing wrong still the trouble came
Walking on the straight and narrow
Is a long walk just the same
I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
I have no cause for shame

I burn in the sun all day
Freeze when the sun goes down
Ain't a lot of drinking water anywhere around
I hope I can make Damascus
By the light of the breaking dawn
Burning in the sun all day
Freezing when the sun goes down

I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
But I have no need to mourn
I been walking holes in my shoes and my clothes are torn
I know I will rest in glory
But for now I'm moving on
I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
I have no need to mourn

I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
Praying for a little rain
Wonder why the high and mighty
Cause the poor folks pain
I know there's no answer
I'm asking just the same
I'm walking in the valley of the shadow
Praying for a little rain"
