[Verse 1]
There's a deep dark valley that my baby left
It goes down deep in my soul
Just a little bit of Heaven on a Hell-bound train
It goes down deep in my soul
The last few years have been harder than most
Oh, I miss my kin and I miss my coast
There's a deep dark valley that my baby left
It goes down deep in my soul

[Verse 2]
There's a deep dark valley that my baby left
It goes down deep in my soul
When I wander through the wild I will feel no pain
It goes down deep in my soul
Well the truth don't hurt you if you don't come clean
Just like the dirt-stained soul of every man I've been
There's a deep dark valley that my baby left
It goes down deep in my soul

[Verse 3]
There's a deep dark valley that my baby left
It goes down deep in my soul
In the middle of the mountain, still I hear that voice
It goes down deep in my soul
'Cause I don’t recall the good Lord saying:
"The faithful servant never feels no pain"
Theres a deep dark valley that my baby left
It goes down deep in my soul
[Ending]
It goes down deep in my soul
It goes down deep in my soul
It goes down deep in my soul
It goes down deep in my soul
It goes down deep in my soul
It goes down deep in my soul
