Well old Blind Bartimus stood on the way blind
Blind Bartimus stood on the way,
Well old Blind Bartimus stood on the way, cryin’
Oh Lord have mercy on me
(repeat)

In my God’s bible in the book of James
Christ was a-healin’ the crippled and the lame
He gave to the poor and the needy bread,
Healin’ the sick and a-raisin’ the dead

Well when he came to Galilee
He passed by a man who could not see
The man was blind, he was blind from birth;
They tell me that his name was Blind Bartimus

Well old Blind Bartimus stood on the way blind
Blind Bartimus stood on the way
Well old Blind Bartimus stood on the way, cryin’
Oh Lord have mercy on me

When Bartimus heard that the Lord was nigh
He fell on his knees and began to cry
Oh the man from Galilee
Cryin’ Great God Almighty have mercy on me

Cryin’ Oh Lord
(Mary’s baby)
Oh Lord
(Son of David)
Oh Lord
(Bleeding Lamb)
Lord, my troubles in Bethlehem
(repeat)

Well my God he stopped, he turned around
And he saw Blind Bartimus on the ground And he touched his eyes with the palm of his hand
Blind Bartimus saw like a natural man

Crying Thank God
(Mary’s baby)
Thank God
(Son of David)
Thank God
(Bleeding Lamb)
Lord, my troubles in Bethlehem
(repeat)

Well old Blind Bartimus stood on the way blind
Blind Bartimus stood on the way
Well old Blind Bartimus stood on the way, cryin’
Oh Lord have mercy on me.
