My grandfather went down with the Montevideo
Rising sun sent him floating to his rest a And his wife fled south to Sydney seeking out safe harbour a 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 a Now Bob Dyer glued us to our seats and lawns were always victa neat a Whilst menzies fawned at royal feet F(d")F(g") I'm sure you remember, do you remember
a In the valley I walk, in the valley I walk a In the valley I walk, who will take me there
In the valley I walk, cold comfort I can hear you talk a In the valley I walk, who will take me there.

When my mother went down it was a stiff arm from hades
Life surprises and tears you like the southerly a She always welcomed the strange, always welcomed the stranger a F(d")F(g") 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 a 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 D h I hope the kids will take it slow
I hope my country claims its own, yes I do
a In the valley I walk, I cried, yes I cried, I was down then I crawled a Mercy's arms all around me when I was down there a a In the valley I walk, do you read me they can hear me a |: F(g") :| In the valley
