Beside of a Neighbor Songtext
von Charlie Musselwhite

Well, I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor (of a neighbor)
Who was just about to cross a swellin′ tide
And I asked him if he would do me a favor (me a favor)
Kindly take this message to the other side

If you see my Savior, tell him that you saw me (that you saw me)
When you saw me, I was on my way
You may meet some friends who ask about me (ask about me)
Just tell 'em I′m coming home someday


So, you might make this journey home without me (home without me)
As the debt, man must be paid
When you reach that goal and sitting, think about me (think about me)
And don't forget to tell my Savior what I say

You may chance to meet my mother or my father (or my father)
Some friends whom I can't recall
You may chance to meet my sister or my brother (or my brother)
But just try to see my Savior first of all

Well, I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor (of a neighbor)
Who was just about to cross a swellin′ tide
And I asked him if he would do me a favor (me a favor)
Kindly take this message to the other side
