Yeah, I think it is a mimicry.

As for AT YOU SIDE - this is my fault.

Thanks.

Hard to tell without knowing what 'underverse' is-- it could be plural. Or it could be a mimicry of 'till Kingdom come':

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one."

(Matthew 6:9-13)

Or maybe the speaker has poor grammar-- s/he also says 'you side', not 'your side'.

Hi,
I just came across the strange (for me) sentence:

MY PLACE IS AT YOU SIDE. FROM HERE TILL UNDERVERSE COME.

Leave out UNDERVERSE - it's a made-up word.

Why COME? Not COMES?

Thanks in advance.
