Met her on a Sunday
The third day of May
Tried not to show her
I was swept away
By her giddy girlish laughter
Long raven hair
And the way that she barely seemed to care
And I love and admire her still to this day
So I have to say
If I could
God done good
God done good
God done good
God done good
He made a promise
Said He would
God done good
Tried to have a baby
Tried and we tried
Couldn't make it happen
Cried and we cried
Searched for an answer
Prayed and we prayed
Then one day it happened
From far-far away
Baby boy came and changed our lives
We cried and we cried
Cause we understood
Got no money
Got no fame
Got no t**le before my name
Got food and water
Brick and wood
Got love and laughter
God done, God done good
Watch our baby sleeping
Peaceful and calm
Look at those eyelashes
So graceful and long
He will be a prize for some lucky girl
And a gift of laughter to a cold lonely world
And will wink at the sky
And will kneel, and will cry
And will cry
Cause it's understood
