Set Him Free — текст песни (Skeeter Davis)

Set him free, set him free
For our love can`t you see

Order in the court
Do you swear to tell the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
So help you God

Yes, I do
Judge, I`ve never believed in divorces
Unless they just have to be
But after you`ve heard my story
Then I know you`ll set this man free

It began right after the wedding
She cheated and she lied from the start
And I could see from the way they were hidden
This woman would soon break his heart

Set him free, set him free
For our love can`t you see

The three of us were always the best of friends
But when I leave this courtroom, Judge, I know our friendship ends
If you could`ve heard the awful things that I`ve heard her say
Why she`d call him names and slap his face, and he`d just turn away

And the nights we went out for fun
It was all so plain to see
She`d dance all night with someone else
And she`d leave him there with me

Set him free, set him free
For our love can`t you see

Now I ask you, Judge, to understand
Think it over slow
You see, I fell in love with him
And I don`t care who knows

I`d respect him as a husband
And I`d treat him like a man
I know I can help him find more happiness
Than this woman ever can

Well, Judge, you`ve heard my story
It`s true as true can be
I`ve even told you that I love him
So, Judge, won`t you please set him free?

Set him free, set him free
For our love can`t you see
