Oh well tonight when I lay me down Oh well lord I'm going home Back to that river Back to my brother oh lord I may no longer be alone
Now in my life I've I've had few comforts And ones I did I pushed aside But now I'm going Back home to Jesus oh lord Drowning in the river wide
I've had some friends Out on this road Who have given me a helping hand Oh and I know I I can't repay them oh lord But I know they will understand
So gather round boys This here's the last time You're gonna see me in one piece So put a kiss Upon my lips oh boys And then send me off to sleep
Oh well tonight when I lay me down Oh well lord I'm going home Back to that river Back to my brother oh lord I may no longer be alone I may no longer be alone
