Barbara Joy

Will you be there in the courtyard for the joy Will your honor be avenged with justice done When they cover my head over for the joy Will you hide your face in shame for what you've done? You were alway wild and reckless, Barbara dear But I worshiped you, my love was like a fire And your wedding was the high spot of the whole year But your marriage left so much to be desired. Saying that you are were willing Barbara Joy The face you're showing gives away your sin All your hopes of money can't retore your pride Maybe you were willin', don't let me die. When the phone rang in the middle of the night Your tender voice was shaking with alarm So without a thought I hurried to your side Always seeking to protect you from all harm. You threw your arms around me, it was like a dream And what we knew was bound to happen, did Then the doorway framed your husband and I heard you scream Unless you speak tomorrow I'll be dead. Saying that you are were willing Barbara Joy The face you're showing gives away your sin All your hopes of money can't retore your pride Maybe you were willin', don't let me die. --- Barbara Joy - George Jones
