Answer me, Lord above:
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose my love.
Please answer me, oh, Lord.

She was mine yesterday,
An' I believed that love was here to stay.
Won't you tell me where Ii've gone astray:
Please answer me, oh, Lord.

If she's happier without me,
Don't tell her I care.
But if she still thinks about me,
Please let her hear my prayer.

Let her know I've been [bad word] 
Send her back so we can start anew.
In my sorrow, may I turn to you?
Please answer me, oh, Lord.
