Once you are in a valley dark and low
Your friends of true and blue where did they go
And if you want to see your troubles fly
Sing this Song and hold your head up high

Hallelujah anyhow
I'll never let my trails get me down
Whatever trails life may bring
I'll hold my head up high and sing
Hallelujah

Once I read about a man named Job
His trials and afflictions laid him low
His wife said, "Why don't you curse God and die?"
But instead he sang and held his head up high

I can see a jail house dark and cold
And inside two preachers strong and bold
They said, "Why should we sit down here cry?"
So instead they sang and held their heads up high

When you're in a valley dark and cold
Your friends all true and blue where did they go
If you want to see your troubles fly
Just sing this song and hold your head up high

Hallelujah anyhow
I never let my troubles get me down
Whatever problems life may bring
I'll hold my head up high and sing
Halleluijah anyhow

Behold in a jail house dark and cold
I see inside two preachers strong and bold
They said, why should we sit down here and die
So they sang a song and held their heads up high.

I would like to find this song in an mp3. File I want to know who sing it

Thanks for the lyrics. I believe we sang one more verse that started like this:
Paul and Silas in the Roman jail
Had nobody there to post their bail

then there were 2 more lines that I cannot remember.

Does anyone know these 2 lines? Your help will be appreciated.

Do you have the mp3 file of this version of song, by the hemphills ?

Hallelujah anyhow
ill never let my trouble let me down
whatever trouble life may bring
ill hold my head up high and sing
hallelujah anyhow

once was in valley dark and low
your friends of truth and blue were did they go
and if you want to see your trouble fly
sing this song and hold you head up high

its a song written by Ruth Muncie, sung by The Hemphills in the 1970s

Once I read about a man named Job
His troubles and afflictions laid him low
His wife said, why don't you curse God and die
But instead he shouted with his head up high

singing

Hallelujah anyhow
I never let my troubles get me down
What ever problems life may bring
I lift my head up high and sing
Hallelujah anyhow
