Hello Lord

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Hello Lord, how's your children?

They lay 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?

[Verse 2]

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

Lying here in the mire

[Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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?
