Help Me Understand 
By Hank Williams

G                           C            G
A little girl prayed at the close of the day 
                             D7
Cause her daddy had gone far away
G                       C         G
On her little face was a look of despair
                                 D7         G
I stood there and listened and I heard this prayer
  
   C                    G
My mommy says daddy has brought us to shame
    C                    G           D7
And I'm never no more to mention his name
G                            C          G
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
                   D7           G
Oh heavenly Father help me understand
 
Spoken:
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
 
You know she didn’t 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’d be a lot more honest loving 
In this wicked ole world today
If just a few parted parents
Could hear little Sue say

G                       C          G
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
                   D7           G
Oh heavenly Father help me understand
