Standin' by the Bedside

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] And kindly take this message to the other side And kindly take this message to the other side
