Can you judge a man
By the way he wears his hair?
Can you read his mind
By the clothes that he wears?
Can you see a bad man
By the pattern on his tie?
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I
Could you tell a wise man
By the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important
Than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool
If for wealth he doesn't strive?
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I
Can you condemn a man
If you're faith he doesn't hold?
Say the colour of his skin
Is the colour of his soul?
Could you say that men
For king and country all must die?
Well, Mr, you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I
Sick at heart and lonely
Deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
Where is she tell me where
And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea
And I know if she had me back again
Well I would never make her sad
I've gotta heart full of soul
She's been gone such a long time
Longer than I can bear
But if she says she wants me
Tell her that I'll be there
And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea
