When I needed a neighbour - Sidney Carter 1966

Unison

1. 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?

Lower voices on tune, upper voices on descant
2. 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?

Upper voices on tune, lower voices on harmony
3. 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?



Lower voices on tne, upper voices on descant
4. 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?

Upper voices on tune, lower voices on harmony

5. 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?

Canon in two parts
6. 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?
