 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

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.

(play intro part)

 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

...I took some comfort there

In the valley I walk, oh 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

 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

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
