Conway Twitty - You Were Named Co-Respondent Lyrics

You were named co-respondent in a devorce suit today.
That's the legal way of saying y'all went all the way, hey!
And I've been sittin' here a-prayin that's it's been some bad mistake.
You were named co-respondent in a devorce suit today.

Oh, the sheriff came by the house with a sa-peen-o in his hand.
He was looking for you. I said I was your man.
No, he didn't pull his pistol but he sure 'nuff shot me down.
He said: son, she's in a devorce suit
She's the means and she's the grounds!

You were named co-respondent in a devorce suit today.
That's the legal way of saying y'all went all the way, hey!
And I've been sittin' here a-prayin that it's been some bad mistake.
You were named co-respondent in a devorce suit today.

Oh baby, sit right down beside me.
Take your time and please explain,
how that lawyer knew about you,
How that paper's got your name?
I'm tryin' to believe you so tell me where I'm at.
If it ain't true why should someone claim a thing like that?

You were named co-respondent in a deevorce suit today.
That's the legal way of saying y'all went all th way, hey!
And I've been sittin' here a-prayin that it's just some bad mistake.
You were named co-respondent in a devorce suit today...
