Lyrics
I'll Be Home Someday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor
Who was just about to cross the swelling tide
I asked if she would do me a favor
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 dont forget to tell Him
Dont 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
