I Got To Stand There By Myself

I got to stand my trial in judgement,
Well, I got to stand there by myself,
Well, there's no one here can stand there for me,
Well, I got to stand there by myself.
(Repeat)

I got to lay in my cold grave,
Well, I got to lay there by myself,
Well, there's no one here can lay there for me,
Well, I got to lay there by myself.

Sounds like this may be the grand daddy of one I know as 'You've Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley'. Portions of YGTWTLV are also used in the CW song, The Reverend Mr Black. Pretty music.
