I'll Be By

And if you're waitin' at the house where I should be

And I'll be by, don't you cry

And if the door is shut, the lock is open free

And I'll be by, don't you cry, wait for me

And if you're lookin' for a place to rest your head

You can sleep a hundred years inside my bed

And if the night wind blows a shiver and a chill

Take my blankets down and use them all you will

And if you're waitin' at the house where I should be

Oh I'll be by, don't you cry

And if the door is shut, the lock is open free

I'll be by, don't you cry, wait for me

And if your stomach cries, you need something to eat

Take my food because it's layin' at your feet

When early mornin' brings a blinkin' of the eye

Turn around 'cause I'll be layin' at your side, yes I will

And if you're waitin' at the house where I should be

And if the door is shut, the lock is open free

Wait for me
