Music: Composer
Mae Frances
Composed by Bernice Johnson Reagon, copyright: Songtalk Publishing Co.
Where do I go when there’s no where to turn to Feel all alone wandering why I am Where do I go where I need familiar Woman hold my hand Who do I turn to when my legs get shaky Eyes cloud over, I can’t see my way Who let’s me know that I’m still walking upright Woman hold my hand Who laughs with me when I’m feeling silly Who skips along dance the whole night away Who smiles with me in my moments of pretty Woman hold my hand Who binds my wounds when I’m bruised and battered By strangers and those daily walking in my life Who lets me know that I’m more than my hurtings Woman hold my hand Who cries with me when I lose my baby By accident, choice, or against my will Who knows that I am a childless mother Woman hold my hand Who bids me sing when my voice is silent Songs have left me for places unheard Who bids me sing when all singing seems useless Woman hold my hand
