Valley To Pray Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

Adapted by Doc Watson, Additional adaptation by John Pilla and Arlo Guthrie

I went down in the valley to pray 

Learnin' about the good old way 

And who would wear the starry crown 

Oh Lord, show me the way 

Oh Brother, let's go down 

Come on down, don't you want to go down 

Oh Brother, lets go down 

Down in the valley to pray 

As I went walkin in the valley to pray 

Learnin' about the good old way 

And who would wear the starry crown 

Oh Lord, show me the way 

Oh Father, let's go down 

Come on down, don't you want to go down 

Oh Father, lets go down 

Down in the valley to pray 

I went out walkin' on the mountain to pray 

Learnin' about the good old way 

I went up on the mountain and I just had to say 

Oh Lord, show me the way 

Oh Sister, let's go down 

Come on down, don't you want to go down 

Oh Sister, lets go down 

Down in the valley to pray 

As I went down in the valley to pray 

Studyin' about the good old way 

And who will wear the starry crown 

Oh Lord, show me the way 

Oh, let's go down 

Come on down, don't you want to go down 

Oh, let's go down 

Down in the valley to pray
