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

Don’t you leave me 'lone, no Don’t leave me 'lone
Don’t you leave me 'lone, Lord
