Lyrics
I was alone and sickly It was a quarter of a moonlit night I heard him cry through my window shade And it filled me so full of fright But I could not turn my back on him I put on the back porch light "Can I help you," said the good samaritan "Can I help you," said the good samaritan
I brought him bread and a blanket But I told him, "you can't come in" You can sleep outside in the tool shed Though a little rain comes in Oh, I don't know you, you're a stranger I don't know where you've been "You can't come in here," said the keeper of the inn "I don't want you in here," said the keeper of the inn
But I couldn't sleep for the thinking You know my night got so insane I thought, maybe he was an angel And I left him out in the rain And what if he was the devil He'd be coming after me again But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone When I woke in the weary morning he was gone
I thought maybe he was an angel And I left him out in the rain And what if he was the devil He'd be coming after me again When I woke in the weary morning he was gone When I woke in the weary morning, lord, he was gone
