Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Once I've traveled in the valley so low lonely and weary was I

Now I travel in the valley no more yeah I'll reach the other side by and by


Well well I'm climbing up the mountain to the sky

I'm a going where I never never die

I'm climbing yes I'm climbing you know I'm climbing

Yeah I'll reach the other side by and by


Yeah I would not be a sinner oh no no no I'm climbing with my Jesus to the sky

And I started started traveling long ago and I'll reach the other side by and by


Well well I'm climbing to the sky

I'm a going where I never never die

Well well I'm climbing up the mountain to the sky

I'm a going where I never never die
