♫
(Lee) ♫ As I awoke ♫
♫ The moon was shinin' ♫
♫ That dreadful feeling starts anew ♫
♫ For I have searched for many answers ♫
♫ Now I know what I must do ♫
(Jill & Lee) ♫ He did not care how much it hurt her ♫
♫ He doesn't know her trembling fear ♫
♫ A father's justice will prevail ♫
♫ And this will be ♫
♫ His final year ♫
[mandolin solo]
(Lee) ♫ She was so young ♫
♫ And oh so trusting ♫
♫ And he pushed her into his car ♫
♫ She cried my God ♫
♫ Please don't forsake me ♫
♫ As she received ♫
♫ Her bitter scars ♫
♫ He did not care how much it hurt her ♫
♫ He doesn't know her trembling fear ♫
♫ A father's justice will prevail ♫
♫ And this will be his final year ♫
[banjo solo]
♫ The moon slipped back ♫
♫ Behind the clouds ♫
♫ And darkness fell ♫
♫ Around his town
♫ May God forgive ♫
♫ A father's justice ♫
♫ That was my prayer ♫
♫ As he went down ♫
♫ He did not care ♫
♫ How much it hurt her ♫
♫ He doesn't know ♫
♫ Her trembling fear ♫
♫ A father's justice ♫
♫ Will prevail ♫
♫ And this will be his final year ♫
