Hank Williams - Help Me Understand lyrics



Chorus

[sung]

A little girl prayed at the close of the day,

Cause her daddy had gone far away,

On her little face was a look of despair,

I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer

My mommie says daddy has brought us to shame

And Im never no more to mention his name

Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Oh heavenly father help me understand

[recitation]

You know friends I wonder--

Just how many homes are broken tonight

And just how many tears are shed

By some little word of anger

That never should have been said

Id like to tell you a story

Of a family I once knew.

Well call them mary and william

And their little daughter sue

Now mary was just a plain mother

And bill was just a usual dad

And they had their little family quarrels

(like everybody else)

But neither one really got mad

Then one day something happened

It was nothing of course

But one word led to another

And the last word led to a divorce

Now here were two grown up people

Who failed to use common sense

They strengthened their own selfish pride

At little sues expense

You know she didnt ask to be brought to

This world

To drift from pillar to post

But a divorce never stops to consider

The ones it hurts the most

Thered be a lot more honest loving

In this wicked ole world today

If just a few parted parents

Could hear little sue say

[sung]

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand

Oh heavenly father, help me understand
