Lyrics:

[Chorus]I was standing by the bedside of a sisterWho was just about to cross that swelling tideAnd I asked her if she would do me a favourAnd kindly take this message to the other side[Verse 1]Well, if you see my Saviour tell him that you saw meAnd when you saw me I was on my wayYou may meet some boyfriends who may ask about meYou tell ''em I am a coming home someday[Chorus]I was standing by the bedside of a sisterWho was just about to cross that swelling tideAnd I asked her if she would do me a favourAnd kindly take this message to the other side[Verse 2]Well, you may have to make this journey on without meSooner or later, sooner or later it''s a debt that must be paidWhen you reach that goal that''s when you''ll think about meBut don''t forget to tell my Saviour what I said[Chorus]I was standing by the bedside of a sisterWho was just about to cross that swelling tideAnd I asked her if she would do me a favourAnd kindly take this message to the other side[Outro]And kindly take this message to the other sideAnd kindly take this message to the other side
