WILL YOUR LAWYER TALK TO GOD FOR YOU?
(Harlan Howard - Richard Johnson) Copyright '64 Wilderness Music
Performed by Kitty Wells: “Especially For You” (Decca DL 74493) '64

The lawyer called to say he had the papers all prepared.
Just to sign my name was all I had to do.
Well, he's seen the judge, and he's seen me. There's only one thing left to see.
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?

CHORUS: Will your lawyer talk to God, plead your case up on high,
And defend the way you broke my heart in two?
Man-made laws have set you free on earth, but is God satisfied?
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?

We must all face final judgment, and it's mighty strict, they say.
When your turn comes, I wonder what you'll do.
Will you hang your head in shame, or will you turn your face away?
Will your lawyer talk to God for you? CHORUS
