Verse
My grandfather went down with the Montevideo
Rising sun sent him floating to his rest
And his wife fled south to Sydney seeking out safe harbour
A north shore matron she became with some paying guests
My father went down with the curse of big cities
Traffic tolls and deadlines took him to his peace
Now Bob Dyer glued us to our seats and lawns were always victa neat
Whilst menzies fawned at royal feet, I'm sure you remember. Do you remember?
Chorus
In the valley I walk, in the valley I walk
In the valley I walk, who will take me there?
In the valley I walk, cold comfort I can hear you talk
In the valley I walk, who will take me there?

Verse
When my mother went down it was a stiff arm from hades
Life surprises and tears you like the southerly
She always welcomed the strange, always welcomed the stranger
I don't see too many around like this, oh no not many like this
Chorus
In the valley I walk, in the valley I walk
In the valley I walk, who will take me there?
In the valley I walk, cold comfort I can hear you talk
In the valley I walk, I took some comfort there
In the valley I walk, ah, rough justice I hear you talk
In the valley I walk, to meet my water shed
To meet my water shed
I meet my water shed
Bridge
I hope virtue brings its own reward
And I hope the pen is mightier than any sword
I hope the kids will take it slow
I hope my country claims its own, yes I do
Final Chorus
In the valley I walk, I cried, yes I cried, I was down then I crawled
Mercy's arms all around me when I was down there
In the valley I walk, do you read me they can hear me
In the valley...
