Hello Lord

Hello Lord Lyrics

I don't want to hurt nobody
I don't want to kill no one
I just wanna see my baby
Whose face is like the sun
I'm so far from Carolina
But I still can see her smile
And when I dream, it almost seems
Like I've been with her awhile

Hello Lord, how's your children?
Do they still fuss and fight?
With all these guns we've given them
And ship them off to fight
I don't know if you've noticed
It's become an awful sight
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?

I don't know what I'm doing here
I'm not sure if this is right
All's I know, I'm a soldier boy
And a soldier's job's to fight
Here I lay in this cruel sun
I've never seen such smoke and fire
And I've never seen so much blood
Lyin' here in the mire

Hello Lord, how's your children?
Do they still fuss and fight?
With all these guns we've given them
And then send 'em off to fight
I don't know if you've noticed
It's become an awful sight
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?

Please, please, come for me
Please, oh, please, come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me
Come for me

Hello Lord, how's your children?
Do they still fuss and fight
With all them guns we've given them
And send them off to fight
I don't know if you've noticed
It's become an awful sight
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?
Hello Lord, how's your children tonight?
