Well, I want Jesus
Whilst walk with me
Yes, I want Jesus
Walk with me
Whilst I'm on this tedious journey
Yes, I want Jesus
Just to walk with me
Walk with my mother
Lord, walk with me
Walk with my mother
Lord, walk with me
Whilst I'm on this tedious journey
Yes, I want Jesus
Just to walk with me

Won't you be my doctor?
Come and walk with me
Just be my doctor
Come and walk with me
Well, whilst I'm on this tedious journey
Yes, I want Jesus
Just to walk with me

(guitar)

Don't you leave me 'lone, no
Don't leave me 'lone
Don't you leave me 'lone, Lord
Don't leave me 'lone
Well, whilst I'm on this tedious journey
Yes, I want Jesus
Just to walk with me

Um-hm, um-hm, hmm
Um-hm, um-hm
Um-hm, um-hm-hm
Um-hm, hm-mm
Um-hm, hm-hm
Umm-hm-hm-hm

Yes, I want Jesus
Come and walk with me-he-eee.
