Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: Little Boy's Prayer
Lyrics for Album: Luke The Drifter Jr. Volume 3 [1970]



Darling I don't know whether you can hear me or not



Because of this lump in my throat I can't talk very loud



But I've got to tell you about our little son's prayer tonight



If you could've heard it honey youd've been so proud



I'd already left a note on the table for mom and dad



As if they didn't know what was wrong



I asked them to take a care of him now that you and I both were gone



After I finished the note I figured that he was alseep



So I've slipped in to see him once more



But he was just startin' to pray and his words froze me at the door



He said dear God it's late and I hope I didn't get you up



But there's somethin' we gotta talk about



You see God my mommy was burried today and my daddy needs straighten out



Ever since mommy got sick he's been nervous and hollered at me a lot



But that part I can't understand



Cause a little boy like me knows that worry sometimes overload a man



But God he loved mommy so much



He used to tel her nothin' would ever come between 'em



And I know that's what's botherin' him now cause somethin' has



And I'm afraid he's thinkin' about joinin' her somehow



God I'm glad he loved mommy



And I want him to be with her again one of these days



But I want to talk to him and tell him that just now he's got me to raise



Tell him every now and then a little boy needs a helping hand



I guess you probably still need your daddy even after

you're a fullgrown man



And God if I'd lost him and mommy both it'd be more than I could stand



I know my grandma and grandpa would take care of me

cause they both love me a lot



But God they're older and they don't always understand



The problems a little boy like me has got



Well God I won't bother anymore tonight



But tomorrow night I'll be sure to talk to you again



You take care of my daddy now you hear me thank you God Amen



I've just stood there thinkin' bout his prayer what he said in it



Finally I opened the door and asked himif I could talk to him for a minute



We sat down on the edge of his bed we both took turns

laughin' and cryin' for a while



And he could tell it'd been a change in me



Because for the first time and the long time I saw him smile



So darling you go on ahead but you walk slow



And someday when you'll turn around I'll be there



But it'll be a while cause I'm gonna spend the next few dozen years



Being an answer to our little boys prayer
