Jesus Walk Around Your Bedside

Cho.
Don't you want Jesus to walk around your, walk around your sick bedside?
I do want Jesus to walk around me, walk around me till I die.

Life is like a mountain railroad with an angel near my side,
Jes' keep your hand upon the throttle and your eyes upon the rail.

Well, don't you let old Satan lead you, he will lead you off astray;
An' when he catch yo'all for meanness, he will go an' leave you lay.

Cho. 2
Don't you want Jesus to walk, Jesus to walk, Jesus to walk around you,
Walk around your sick bedside?
I do want Jesus to walk around me, walk around me till I die.

My mother's dead an' gone to Heaven, an' she lef' me here alone;
I have no friend or no relation, none to teach me right from wrong.
