Walkin down by the river
Hangin down my head
I chanced to stop for a moment
A stranger beckoned and then he said
Walk down the road of life, a-happy as can be
But not so happy, yeah, that you cant see
Be very careful mmm everywhere you go
Take it very slow
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin me what he knows
I said, Lord, I hear ya
And Im walkin slow
Just a singin Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin grow-ow-ow-ow
Walkin down by the river
His words warmin up my soul
He called to me from the other side
Theres one more thing ya gotta know, yeah
Nobodys perfect, boy, not me or you
It doesnt matter what you say or do
But you could be singin, yeah, a better tune
Singin whoa-oh-oh
—— brief instrumental break ——
Yeah, all the things that I have said
Youve probably heard them all before
Be very careful everywhere you go
Take it very slow
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin me what he knows
I said, Lord, I hear ya
And Im walkin slow, yeah
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin me what he knows
I said, Lord, I hear ya
And Im walkin slow
Yeah, I said
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin me what he knows
I said, Lord, I hear ya
And Im walkin slow
Just a singin Hallelujah, oh yeah, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin grow
A little louder
Hallelujah, sing it out loud, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin grow
