[Verse 1]
When I'm walkin' by the river
Stand by me
And Jesus Christ, He's my pillow
Stand by me
When this world can be so cold
I've got love for Jesus in my soul
I need faith on this long rocky road
So stand by me
[Verse 2]
Now when the devil, devil tries to shake me
Please stand by me
And when my only friend forsakes me
Please stand by me
And when I'm travelin', travelin' through the land
Tryin' to do the best that I can
When all my friends misunderstand
Stand by me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Now I'm travelin' through this world of trouble
Plеase stand by me
And when I'm feelin' so alonе, please stand by me
And when I'm comin', comin' down to die
Jesus you take me up high
And I'll wave goodbye from the sky
Stand by me
[Outro]
Won't believe it?
Lord please stand by me
And when I'm comin', comin' down to die
Jesus you take me up high
And I'll wave goodbye from the sky
Stand by me
