Help Me Understand Lyrics - Hank Williams

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 I'm 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

I'd like to tell you a story 

Of a family I once knew. 

We'll 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 Sue's expense 

Photos 

You know she didn抰 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 

There抎 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
