Valley

Wake hard in the morning, see the young girl milking

Stream rushing by on a bed of stone

Old goats and sandstone cracking, all containing

Squeezing that river like it squeeze your bones

In the long red, red valley

People live here too long

In the long red, red valley

They only sing the valley song

Some bad people living further down the valley

Not easy for us to do good trade

We got snowmelt, snowmelt, sweet water

They got that valley road that they made

In the long red, red valley

People dying here too long

In the long red, red valley

They only sing the valley song

Holding hands on the hillside

Showing love to your brother

Your sister and your mother

But we hate those people down the valley

Anybody seen Moses? Get him off that mountain

Bring back the tablets of stone

It's a wise, wise prophet who keeps his own council

Yeah, leave the other man's wife alone

In the long red, red valley

People living here too long

In the long red, red valley

Only sing the valley song

Holding hands on the hillside

Showing love to your brother

Your sister and your mother

But we hate those people down the valley

Wake hard in the morning, see the young girl milking

Sleepy stream with it's head on a bed of stone

Old goats and sandstone cracking, all containing

Squeezing that river like it squeeze your bones

In the long red, red valley

People living here too long

In the long red, red valley

They only live the valley song

In the long red, red valley

People dying here too long

In the long red, red valley

They only know the valley song
