Kathleen Hollingsworth - Where Were You? Lyrics

Where were you, when your baby was three
Why'd you leave her alone with a sinner man
How could you not see, he was preachin' from the scriptures
From the book he wrote when he was three

Where's the key to the stories that you hid
For forty years, they haunted her song?
Even though you turned away to save your name
Where were you, now that she's gone

If you knew that someday, she'd steal a gun
And erase every word on the page
Would you tear down that door, to save her from his sins
Now that you know how the story ends
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you

If you knew that someday, she'd steal a gun
And erase every word on the page
Would you tear down that door, to save her from his sins
Now that you know how the story ends
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you
