American Old Time Song Lyrics: 08 Let Us Speak Of A Man As We Find Him
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 8
LET US SPEAK OF A MAN AS WE FIND HIM.
Let us speak of a man as we find him,
And censure alone what we see,
And if a blame, let's remind him,
That from faults there are noue of us free.
If the veil from the heart could be torn,
And the mind could be read on the brow.
There are many we'd pass by with scorn,
Who we're loading with high honors now.
Chorus.
Let us speak of a man as we find him,
And censure alone what we see,
And if a man blame, let's remind him,
That from faults there are none of us free.
Full chorus.
Let us speak of a man, let us speak of a man,
Let us speak of a man as we find him.
Let us speak of a man as we find him,
And heed not what others may say.
If he's frail, then a kind word may bind him,
When coldness would turn him away;
For the heart must be barren, indeed,
Where no bud of repentance doth bloom,
Then pause, ere you cause it to bleed.
When a smile or a frown hangs it down.-Chorus.
