Lyrics
Often I sing for my friends when death’s cold hand I see
But when I am called who will sing one song for me
I wonder who will sing for me
When I’m called to across that silent sea who will sing for me
So I’ll sing till the end and helpful try to be
Assured that some friends will sing one song for me
I wonder who will sing for me…
