Crying In The Chapel
Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty Lyrics

Just two kids from the country, far from any town
We were just two young children from rural areas, far from any populated areas.

And wherever I played Rose could always be found
No matter where I went to play, I could always count on Rose to be there with me.

Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
Our lives were difficult, but we managed to overcome the challenges we faced, as people are aware of.

I was there when she needed me, a playmate of Rose
I was always available for Rose when she required my presence, and we played together often.

Now years have passed, things have changed
As time has gone by, many things have been altered.

Since we moved into town
Ever since we relocated to the city.

The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
The young girl I grew up alongside is now your partner, I have discovered.

And now the sidewalks of the city where
Currently, the streets of the city where

Wild temptation flows
There are many alluring and seductive temptations present.

Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose
This is now the place where she spends her time and the new people she is socializing with.

So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
In case you are the individual embracing her affectionately,

Somewhere out there tonight
At an unknown location this evening.

Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
Please do not disregard her as if she is unimportant.

From off the street
Just another stranger you might encounter on the street.

And please, don't do her wrong
I implore you, do not treat her unfairly or harm her in any way.

For her pride is almost gone
Her self-esteem has nearly vanished.

For you see Rose means the world to me
As you can see, Rose is incredibly important to me.

I love the girl you found out in the world
I care for the woman you discovered out in the world.

The girl that every man knows
The woman who is well-known among many males.

But I love her today so different from your way
However, I love her now in a unique way that differs from your own.

For you see, I'm the brother of Rose
The reason for my deep affection and concern for Rose is that I am her brother.
