Bobby Bare - Barbara Joe Lyrics


Bobby Bare Lyrics

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

[ ac.guitar ]

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
