The Carter Family - I'll Be Home Someday lyrics

[Verse] I was standing by the bedside of a neighbour Who was just about to cross the swelling tide I asked if he would do me a favour Just take a message to the other side If you see my saviour, 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 home someday Now you have to take this journey on without me It's a debt that sooner or later must be paid If you see my saviour, 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 and see my savior first of all
