Answer me, Lord above*:
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose my
love.
Please answer me, oh, Lord.
She was mine yesterday,
An' I believed that love was here to
stay.
Won't you tell me where Ii've gone astray:
Please
answer me, oh, Lord.
If she's happier without
me,
Don't tell her I care.
But if she still thinks about
me,
Please let her hear my prayer.
Let her know I've been true.
Send her back so we can start anew.
In
my sorrow, may I turn to you?
Please answer me, oh, Lord.
If she's happier without me,
Don't tell her I care.
But if she still thinks about me,
Please let her hear my prayer.
Let her know I've been true.
Send
her back so we can start anew.
In my sorrow, may I turn to
you?
Please answer me, oh, Lord.
*in späteren Fassungen wurde "Lord above" durch "oh, my love" oder "my sweetheart" ersetzt, da einige US-Sender sich wegen angeblicher Gotteslästerung weigerten, das Original zu spielen - so streng waren damal die Sitten in God's own country!
