Verse 1

G                                     C                   G
There's a white oak on the hill at my old clinch mountain home
                                                 D7
That stands straight and true on that windy spur alone
    G                            C                   G
And when the cold wind blows its roots they bend and moan
                                               D7          G
And when the storms have passed it straightens up and goes on

Verse 2

                         C                G
Lord let me be like that white oak on the hill
                                     D7
And help me to live in Your almighty will
G                          C                 G
Help me on my journey Lord as I travel on my own
                                       D7        G
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on

Verse 3

                                       C                G
You know the troubles of this life may sometimes get me down
                                                  D7
And when I look for my friends they're not always around
         G                              C            G
Then the good Lord seems to say son get up and do My will
                             D7               G
And always remember that old white oak on the hill

Verse 2

                         C                G
Lord let me be like that white oak on the hill
                                     D7
And help me to live in Your almighty will
G                          C                 G
Help me on my journey Lord as I travel on my own
                                       D7        G
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on

Verse 4

                                       D7        G
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on
