Set Him Free - Skeeter Davis

Set Him Free Lyrics

Set him free, set him free
For I love him, you seeOrder in the court
Do you swear to tell the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
So help you GodYes, I do
Judge, I've never believed in divorces
Unless they just have to be
But after you've heard my story
Then I know you'll set this man freeIt began right after the wedding
She cheated and she lied from the start
And I could see from the way they were hidden
This woman would soon break his heartSet him free, set him free
For I love him, you seeThe three of us were always the best of friends
But when I leave this courtroom, judge, I know our friendship ends
If you could've heard the awful things that I've heard her say
Why she'd call him names and slap his face, and he'd just turn awayAnd the nights we went out for fun
It was all so plain to see then
She'd dance all night with someone else

And leave him there with meSet him free, set him free
For I love him, you seeNow I ask you, judge, to understand
Think it over slow
You see, I fell in love with him
And I don't care who knowsI'd respect him as a husband
And I'd treat him like a man
I know I can help him find more happiness
Than this woman ever canWell, judge, you've heard my story
It's true as true can be
I've even told you that I love him
So, judge, won't you please set him free?Set him free, set him free
For I love him, you see
