Bless 'em

Lord the devil had his hands on my soul

I even stooped to pleasure being mean

Oh God, have mercy on us weak men

that lean too heavy on their women.

A woman's trust in her man is the key

and broken vows leave so much in doubt

Good Lord watch over all them good strong women

and bless 'em with the patience

to love a needy man

Bless 'em with the patience

to love a needy man

Well I'd give up my ramblin' and and my drinkin'

I pray the heart I broke will mend

This loneliness has started me to thinkin'

just what it's like to be on the losin' end.

Lord that devil's had his hand on my soul

I've even stooped to pleasure being mean

Oh God watch over all'a them good strong women

And bless 'em with the patience

to love a needy man

Bless 'em with patience

to love a need man
