Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Why Did You Wait
Lyrics for Album: The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]



(Clyde Wilson - Bettie Westergard)



Why did you wait to prove to be untrue

Why did you change what's come over you

What made you stop a caryin' for me

Why did you wait till we had a family?



Why did you wait till a baby was born

Think of the shame look at the harm

Think of what you've done to your baby and me

Why did you wait till we had a family?



--- Instrumental ---



I'd rather be dead than to tell her the news

Your daddy's traded us for bright lights and booze

I can see her little face as she cries in misery

Why don't my daddy stay with my mommy and me.



Why did you wait till a baby was born

Think of the shame look at the harm

Think of what you've done to your baby and me

Why did you wait till we had a family?...
