(intro) I was standing by the bedside of a neighbour, who was just about to cross the swelling tide, I asked if she would do me a favour, just take a message to the other side. If you see my savior, tell Him that you saw me, when you saw me I was on my way. You may meet some old friends who may ask about me, just tell them I'll be be home some day. Now you'll have to take this journey on without me, it's a debt that soon or later must be paid. If you see my savior don’t forget to tell Him, don’t forget to tell him what I say. You may chance to see my father or my mother, or some friends who have gone before, you may chance to see my sister or my brother, but try to see my savior first of all.
