 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 can't see 

 Be very careful, mm-hmm, everywhere you go 

 Take it very slow" 

  

 Hats off to the stranger 

 For tellin' me what he knows 

 I said, Lord, I here ya 

 And I'm 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: 

 "There's one more thing ya gotta know, yeah" 

  

 "Nobody's perfect, boy, not me or you 

 It doesn't 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 

 You've probably heard them all before 

 But the way that you'll hear them from me 

 Is like you never heard them before" 

  

 Hats off to the stranger 

 For tellin' me what he knows 

 I said, Lord, I here ya 

 And I'm walkin' slow, yeah 

 Hats off to the stranger 

 For tellin' me what he knows 

 I said, Lord, I here ya 

 And I'm walkin' slow 

 Yeah, I said 

 Hats off to the stranger 

 For tellin' me what he knows 

 I said, Lord, I here ya 

 And I'm 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
