We are going down in the valley one by one

With our faces tow'rd the setting sun

Down in the valley where the mournful cypress grows

Where the stream of death in silence onward flows

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

Going down in the valley one by one

We are going down in the valley one by one

When the labors of the weary day are done

One by one, the cares of earth forever past

We shall stand upon that river bank at last

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

Going down in the valley one by one

We are going down in the valley one by one

Human comrade you and I will have none

But a tender hand will guide us lest we fall

He is going down in the valley with us all

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

Going down in the valley one by one

We are going down in the valley one by one

Yet before the shadowed vale may come the dawn

When with rapture we shall gather in the sky

We shall all be changed, but we should never die

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun

We are going down in the valley

We are going down in the valley

Going down in the valley one by one

Going down in the valley one by one
