[Chorus]**lf**I was standing by the bedside of a sister**lf**Who was just about to cross that swelling tide**lf**And I asked her if she would do me a favour**lf**And kindly take this message to the other side**lf****lf**[Verse 1]**lf**Well, if you see my Saviour tell him that you saw me**lf**And when you saw me I was on my way**lf**You may meet some boyfriends who may ask about me**lf**You tell ''em I am a coming home someday**lf****lf**[Chorus]**lf**I was standing by the bedside of a sister**lf**Who was just about to cross that swelling tide**lf**And I asked her if she would do me a favour**lf**And kindly take this message to the other side**lf****lf**[Verse 2]**lf**Well, you may have to make this journey on without me**lf**Sooner or later, sooner or later it''s a debt that must be paid**lf**When you reach that goal that''s when you''ll think about me**lf**But don''t forget to tell my Saviour what I said**lf****lf**[Chorus]**lf**I was standing by the bedside of a sister**lf**Who was just about to cross that swelling tide**lf**And I asked her if she would do me a favour**lf**And kindly take this message to the other side**lf****lf**[Outro]**lf**And kindly take this message to the other side**lf**And kindly take this message to the other side
