Sabine Lyr Req: Who Will Sing for Me / Who'll Sing for Me (14) RE: Lyr Req: Oft I sing to my friends 28 May 01


I'm singing this version from Guy Caravan or whatever his name is :o)

Oft I sing with my friends
When deaths cold form I see
When I reach my journey's end
Tell me who will sing for me.

chorus:
I wonder who will sing for me
When I come to the cross by silent sea
Tell me who will sing for me.

When my friends have gathered round
And they look down on me
Will they turn and walk away

So I sing until the end
And helpful try to be
Ever knowing there a some
Who will sing a song for me.
Or will they sing a song for me.

I must say that I'm not quite sure at the moment if I met all the words, but I will look it up when I'm back from work.

I found it on a LP "Folkfriends" which was made years and years ago at Germany together with Franz Josef Degenhard and Hannes Wader which were quite popular during the 70s and 80s. Hannes Wader wrote some additional German words to this song. Really great.

As I said before, I will look it up and give more information.

Regards

Sabine
