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 I may no longer be alone
