Going Down The Valley
TUNE
We are going down the valley, 
                  Going down the valley
Going down the valley 
One by one, one by one
We are going down the valley, 
                 Going down the valley
Going to the setting of the sun

We are coming up the valley, 
                   Coming up the valley
Coming up the valley 
One by one, one by one
We are coming up the valley, 
                    Coming up the valley
Coming to the rising of the sun

Repeat the first verse several times getting quieter each time as you get further down the valley. Then switch to the second verse and get louder on each repeat

I learned this song at Cub Scout TTT Woodbadge Course 900-1 at Mentone Alabama from our Course Director, Bill Elliott - Tulsa OK.

I like to picture a patrol of Scouts hiking through the mountains and, as evening approaches, they wind their way down into a valley where they camp over night. In the morning they climb out of the valley to continue their trek.
