The preach
er talked to me and he smiled
He said come and walk with me,
come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you are alone
But you ain't got a dime,
got no time for the phone
I'll just die to get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour
and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
You better hold on now honey,
yeah
I told them I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart
Won't you tell her I'm sorry
Now for once in my life I am alone
But I've got to let her know
take me time before I go.
I just got to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour
and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on
You better hold on my honey
Oh oh oh
Well I left but that didn't help
And it's only her love
that keeps me wearing this hurt
Now I'm crying but deep down in side
Well I did it to him
Now it's my turn to cry
I just got to get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
I just got to get a message to you
Hold on, hold on,
one more hour
and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
