I was standing by the bedside of a sister
Who was just about to cross that swelling tide
And I asked her if she would do me a favour
And kindly take this message to the other side
Well, if you see my Saviour tell him that you saw me
And when you saw me I was on my way
You may meet some boyfriends who may ask about me
You tell 'em I am a coming home someday
I was standing by the bedside of a sister
Who was just about to cross that swelling tide
And I asked her if she would do me a favour
And kindly take this message to the other side
Well, you may have to make this journey on without me
Sooner or later, sooner or later it's a debt that must be paid
When you reach that goal that's when you'll think about me
But don't forget to tell my Saviour what I said
I was standing by the bedside of a sister
Who was just about to cross that swelling tide
And I asked her if she would do me a favour
And kindly take this message to the other side
And kindly take this message to the other side
And kindly take this message to the other side
