Grace

Screaming at the newsman Telling him to take it back I'll sue him if he won't retract Crying to the hangman Begging him to render slack If I could I would go back CHORUS Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace Were you talking to the shrubbery? Did you cut the roses down? Someone oughta till that ground You thought I had a pure heart, well I thought you were an angel, girl Mercy is the silver pearl CHORUS My mother deems me ever dear I'm less a liar than sincere When you cut me in the alley-way You don't have to turn that knife I'll suffer in the afterlife Praying to the Father Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost? You're the one I love the most CHORUS You gotta give me You gotta give me grace Just a little grace Will you extend me Will you extend me grace? Just a little grace My mother deems me ever dear
