Set Him Free

作曲 : Skeeter Davis/Helen Moyers/Marie Wilson

Set him free set him free for I love him 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 don't believe in divorces unless they just have to be

But after you have heard my story 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 headed

This woman would soon break his heart

Set him free set him free for I love him you see

The three of us were always the best of friends

And when I leave this courtroom Judge I know our friendship ends

If you could have heard the awful things that I've heard her say

She'd slapped his face she celled his name and he'd just turn away

And the nights we went out for fun it was all so plain to see

She would dance all night with someone else and she'd leave him there with me

Set him free set him free for I love him 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 would respect him as a husband and I would treat him like a man

I know I can help him find more happiness than this woman ever can

Now Judge you've heard my story it's true as it can be

I even told you that I love him so Judge won't you please set him free

Set him free set him free for I love him you see (set him free)
