Come Sit By My Side

Steve Young

Come and sit by me Grace let me talk to you girl
You know I wouldn't wanna 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 know 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 known 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…..
