I'm Asking for a Friend - Hank Snow

Darling I would like to tell you

About a friend I know

Who has cheated on his sweetheart

Although he really loves her so

He’d like to know if she’d forgive him

Or if she’d forgive in time

Of course it’s not for me I’m asking

I’m asking for a friend of mine

He would like to tell his sweetheart

About the whole affair

He’d like to take it from his conscience

His guilt is more than he can bear

So I’d like to know what you’d do

If I were the guilty one

Would your love for me be endless

Or would you forgive in time

Of course it’s not for me I’m asking

I’m asking for a friend of mine
