Helping Hand

Buddy Buie, J. R. Cobb

[Intro]
Mm-hmm-mm, mm-mm-mm

[Verse 1]
See the little baby
Crawlin' on the ground
He starts walkin'
Then he tumbles down
He's just a little baby
It's not his fault
'Cause you gotta crawl
Before you walk

[Chorus]
He's tryin' to get used to
What he's not used to
Oh, he just don't understand, now
Tryin' to get used to
What he's not used to
Oh, he needs him a helpin' hand

[Verse 2]
Yonder comes a brother
Cryin' in the night
He used to have a lover
He didn't treat her right
Now, tears are fallin'
She said goodbye
He didn't miss the watеr
'Til the well ran dry

[Chorus]
Whoa, tryin' to get usеd to (Tryin' to get used)
What he's not used to (What he's not used to)
Oh, he just don't, he just don't understand
Tryin' to get used to
What he's not used to
Oh, he needs him a helpin' hand

[Bridge]
A man needs a woman
Of his own
I had a woman
But now she's gone
Now (Now)
Now (Now)
And now (Now)

[Chorus]
Tryin' get used to (Tryin' to get used)
What I'm not used to (What I'm not used to)
Oh, I just don't, I just don't understand
Tryin' to get used to
What I'm not used to, baby
Oh, I need me a helpin' hand

[Chorus]
Whoa, tryin' get used to (Tryin' to get used)
What I'm not used to (What I'm not used to)
Whoa, I just don't, I just don't understand
Tryin' to get used to
What I'm not used to, baby
Oh, I need me a helpin' hand

[Outro]
Tryin' get used to (Tryin' to get used)
What I'm not used to (What I'm not used to)
Whoa, I just don't understand
