They say John, he was a Baptist

He ate locusts and honey too

But he had to walk that lonesome valley

And you will have to walk it too

You gotta sleep in that lonesome graveyard

You gotta sleep there by yourself

Can't nobody else sleep there for you

You gotta sleep there by yourself

You know your mama truly loves you

And your woman she does too

Though they may beg you to go with them

You know they can not go for you
