Dottie Rambo, Dolly Parton - Stand By The River lyrics

The road's been long, I'm a little bit weary
Lot of miles behind me
But home's a lot nearer
I've got one more crossing
It's a long way over
Won't you stand by the river and wait for me?

Won't ya stand by the river
Lord and hold my trembling hand
Cradle me sweet Jesus from the
Cold dark sinking sand?
This is one trip I can't take alone
I'm kinda anxious to get on home, so
Stand by the river, wait for me

Sing it, Dolly!

You paved a road through
The hills and mountains
In the middle of the desert
You placed a fountain now stand by me Jesus


Through the cold deep water
Won't you stand by the river and wait for me

Won't ya stand by the river
Lord and hold my trembling hand
Cradle me sweet Jesus from the
Cold dark sinking sand?
This is one trip I can't take alone
I'm kinda anxious to get on home, so
Stand by the river and wait for me

Won't ya stand by the river
Lord and hold my trembling hand
Cradle me sweet Jesus from the
Cold dark sinking sand?
This is one trip I can't take alone
I'm kinda anxious to get on home, so
Stand by the river stand by the river
I want ya to stand by the river, wait for me

Stand by the river
Stand by the river, mm ooh
Stand by the river, wait for me

I want ya to
Stand by the river (Sweet Jesus)
Stand by the river want ya to
Stand by the river wait for me, yeah
