I'll Be Home Someday - The Carter Family

I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor

Who was just about to cross the swelling tide

I asked if he 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 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 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 and see my savior first of all
