Barbara Joe Lyrics

Will you be there in the courtyard Barbara Joe Will your honor be avenged with justice done When they cover my head over Barbara Joe Will you hide your face in shame for what you done You were always wild and reckless Barbara dear But I worshipped you my love was like a fire And your wedding was the high spot of the social year But your marriage left so much to be desired Say that you were willing Barbara Joe the face you're saving gives away your sin All your husband's money can't restore this cry Say that you were willing don't let me die When the phone rang in the middle of the night Your tender voice was shaking with alarm So without a thought I hurried to your side Only thinking to protect you from all harm You threw your arms around me it was like a dream And what we knew was bound to happen dear And the doorway framed your husband and I heard you scream And unless you speak tomorrow I'll be dead So say that you were willing... Say that you were willing don't let me die
