Hal Ketchum - Lord Help Me Please Lyrics

She's the ghost of her momma
The pride of her daddy
A little outspoken
Terribly kind
She loves me in spite of
The way that I treat her
See I'm mean and hardheaded
Most of the time

She gave me this rosary
Said I should keep it
Said if I tried
I might even be saved
She swears to me tryin' to be
Halfway to heaven
Sure beats walking around
With one foot in the grave

[Chorus:]
She don't take no for an answer
If she had her way
I'd be down on my knees
So now since you're the one
Who created this creature
Tell her I love her
Lord help me please

She knows nothing at all
Of the road that I travel
Where survival means being
The first to the well
She says where she's going
Ain't nobody thirsty
Swears that her future
Is easy top tell

[Chorus x2]

She's the ghost of her momma
The pride of her daddy...
