(Gene Dunlap - Lee Miller)

When the time comes and I need someone to hold me
When the time comes and I need someone to care
If I'm ever down and out and need somebody
If I ever call on you will you be there.

Self-relyin' is the work I use for me
Independence is the thing I've got to be
Self-substantivein' doesn't mean that I don't care
If I ever call on you will you be there.

Ah if my dreams and schemes should ever tell me
And my life is empty when I've lost it all
If I'm ever down and out and need somebody oh yeah
If I ever call on you will you be there.

If I ever call on you will you be there...
