''(A song by [[Sydney Carter]])''


When I needed a neighbour, were you there, were you there?

When I needed a neighbour, were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

Were you there?

 

I was hungry and thirsty, were you there, were you there?

I was hungry and thirsty, were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

Were you there?

 

I was cold, I was naked, were you there, were you there?

I was cold, I was naked, were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

Were you there?

 

When I needed a shelter, were you there, were you there?

When I needed a shelter, were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

Were you there?

 

When I needed a healer, were you there, were you there?

When I needed a healer, were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

Were you there?

 

When they put me in prison, were you there, were you there?

When they put me in prison, were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

Were you there?

 

Wherever you travel, I'll be there, I'll be there

Wherever you travel, I'll be there

And the creed and the colour and the name won't matter

I'll be there
