Come and follow me, you know the master said
Don't wait till tomorrow, oh you may be dead
I was you and I wanted to play
Said I'd wait just one more day
Don't you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
And one morning I felt the pain
Felt like d**h done sung my name
Started to tremble deep down inside yeah
And I felt the fear of the swelling tide
Don't you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
So many doctors stood around my bed
One walked away, oh he shook his head
Said "your fever 102"
Said "I don't believe her, I can pull you through"
Don't you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
Then the fever rose to 103
The doctor walked around and took a look at me
Oh it rose to 104
He said "Oh d**h is knocking at your door"
Oh it rose to 105
Said "I don't believe that you will survive"
Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
(Wish I had answered)
Don't you know I wished
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
