When Im walkin by the river
Stand by me
And Jesus Christ, Hes my pillow
Stand by me
When this world can be so cold
Ive got love for Jesus in my soul
I need faith on this long rocky road
Stand by me
Now when the devil, devil tries to shake me
Stand by me
And when my only friend forsakes me
Stand by me
Ive been travelin, travelin through the land
Tryin to do the best that I can
When all my friends misunderstand
Please stand by me
Now Im travelin through this world of trouble
Please stand by me
When Im feelin so alone, please stand by me
And when Im comin, comin down to die
Jesus you take me up high
And Ill wave goodbye from the sky
Stand by me
