The Way He Said Your Name
Porter Wagoner · You Gotta Have a Licence (RCA Victor) [1970]
(Pete Stamper)
Just today I met a stranger, I met a man in misery
He asked about you, oh, my darling
And the way he said your name chilled the heart inside of me
Pardon me sir, said the stranger, I love her so, oh, how is she?
Surely you could hear him darling
And the way he said your name shook this heart inside of me
Guilty shame I felt inside me for the wrong I'd plan to do
For had it not been for that stranger
And the way he said your name
I would have cheated tonight on you...

And the way he said your name shook this heart inside of me
Guilty shame I felt inside me for the wrong I'd plan to do
