Oh Lord

Oh Lord, what's wrong with me?

I can't seem to be what I wanna be

And it's not for the sake of trying

Tried so hard, got nowhere and felt like dying

And if you'd been watching

You'd have seen me crying

So oh Lord, oh Lord

Won't you give me a hand?

Won't you give me a hand?

They say you can do almost anything

If you really try

But this can't be right

'Cause I've tried both day and night

So if I'm doing it wrong

Please, won't you put me right?

So oh Lord, oh Lord

Won't you give me a hand?

Won't you give me a hand?

Hope I'm not asking too much of you

Don't like really asking

But what else can I do?

Oh, here I go again, I'm crying

The pen that I'm writing this with is dying

Paper in this book sure took some buying, Lord

So oh Lord, oh Lord

Won't you give me a hand?

Won't you give me a hand?

Think that's about all I have to say

So if you can do anything

To help me find my way

Sure would appreciate you trying

'Cause life's too short

And I don't wanna spend it crying

My ma tells me I'm a fool

But I keep on trying, Lord

So oh Lord, oh Lord

Won't you give me a hand?

Won't you give me a hand?

Won't you give me a hand? (Oh Lord)

Won't you give me a hand? (Oh Lordy, yeah)

Won't you give me a hand? (Oh Lord)

Won't you give me a hand? (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

Won't you give me a hand? (Give me a hand)

Won't you give me a hand? (I need it so much)

Won't you give me a hand? (Oh Lord)

Won't you give me a hand? (Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

Won't you give me a hand? (Won't you give me a hand?)

Won't you give me a hand? (I need your hand, little Lordy)

Won't you give me a hand? (Oh Lord)
