But the movie version had few lyrics: Jesus, won't you come back here? (repeat twice) Now it is an easy time. (repeat twice) Is this all there is to it? |

From: henryclem In "Sounder" the version at the beginning of the film is by Lightnin Hopkins - I remember seeing the film when it came out and Needed Time made a deep impression on me then. I've still got the soundtrack album on vinyl. |

From: PHJim I learned it from many sources: Lightnin' Hopkins, Eric Bibb, Harrison Kennedy, Barbara Dane, Taj Mahal. . . I think I've grabbed a few verses from each of 'em and don't always sing them in the same order: Jesus won't you come by here Jesus won't you come by here Jesus won't you come by here Now is the needy time Right now is the needy time So Jesus won't you come by here Listen can't you hear me call Listen can't you hear me call Just hopin' that you'll come by here I'm down on my bended knee I am right down on my knee Prayin' won't you come by here Even if you don't stay long Yes even if you don't stay long Ah Jesus won't you come by here |
