One of these days I'm gonna take a vacation By a quiet and a peaceful shore And I'll cool my feet in those crystal waters And I won't have to work anymore.
'Cause my burden has got so heavy Til I can't stand up alone I must lay my head down on one strong shoulder 'Cause I can't stand up alone.
Ah, you can't stand up all by yourself You can't stand up alone You need the touch of a mighty hand You can't stand up alone.
And trouble, I have seen trouble All around my door Go away and leave me old man trouble 'Cause I don't want your trouble no more.
Ah, you can't stand up all by yourself You can't stand up alone You need the touch of a mighty hand You can't stand up alone.
And a voice came down just like thunder And light all around me shown The voice said : 'Jesse, get up' 'And grab hold of my hand 'cause you can't stand up all alone'.
Ah, you can't stand up all by yourself You can't stand up alone You need the touch of a mighty hand You can't stand up alone.
