lyrics

I’m going up on the mountain to get my ashes hauled
I’m going up on the mountain to get my ashes hauled
Take me down to the valley to let that river flow

Riding out on the highway - i can’t even see my home
Riding out on the highway - i can’t even see my home
Take me down to the valley and let that river flow

Looking up there towards heaven, is somebody gonna save my soul?
Looking up there towards heaven, is somebody gonna save my soul?
Take me down to the valley and let that river flow

Lay me down in the tall grass and lighten up my load
Lay me down in the tall grass and lighten up my load
Take me down to the valley and let that river flow

I’ve got time on my hands and things are moving slow
I’ve got time on my hands and things are moving slow
Take me down to the valley and let that river flow

I’ve been working real hard and i can’t work no more
I’ve been working real hard and i can’t work no more
Take me down to the valley and let that river flow

Peace is at hand - it’s a long row that we hoe
Peace is at hand - it’s a long row that we've hoed
Take me down to the valley and let that river flow
