Come Sit By My Side - Steve Young

Come and sit by me Grace

Let me talk to you girl

You know I wouldn’t want to hurt you for the world

But the more I try

Lord, the more it seems to take

And I don’t know if I’m gonna make it on what I make

The railroad’s out of business

And they’re firing at the mine

No use at the factory

You can’t cross the picket line

The farmer’s got machinery

And the soldiers are coming home

They’re ain’t gonna be much meat left on the bone

Come and sit by my side for awhile

You know you always won my heart with your smile

My manly pride someday it’s bound to break

But I don’t how I’m gonna make it on what I make

That old north wind

Lord, it’s starting to moan

See the kids they can feel it in their bones

And it’s enough to teach a man to sing the blues

A little help is something I could use

Come and sit by my side for awhile…

Now when you see the preacher

Tell him say a prayer for me

Tell him I’ve always know what be will be

When the morning’s sun’s rising

Lord, I’m bound to roll

Jesus, won’t you look down upon a helpless soul

Come and sit by my side for awhile…
