                E
Well the road's been long; I'm a little bit weary.
             A
Lot of miles behind me but home's a lot nearer.
                  E               A
Got one more crossin' and it's a long way over.

Stand by the river lord and hold my tremblin' hand.

Cradle me sweet jesus from the cold dark sinking sand.

In the middle of the desert you placed a fountain.

Now stand by me Jesus, through the cold, deep waters.
