[Verse 1]
Will you be there in the courtyard, Barbara Joy?
Will your honor be avenged with justice done?
When they cover my head over, Barbara Joy
Will you hide your face in shame for what you've done?
You were always wild and reckless, Barbara dear
But I worshipped you, my love was like a fire
And your wedding was the high spot of the social year
But your marriage left so much to be desired

[Chorus]
Say that you are willing, Barbara Joy
The face you're saving gives away your sin
All your husband's monеy can't restore his pride
Say that you arе willing, don't let me die

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
When the phone rang in the middle of the night
Your tender voice was shaking with alarm
So without a thought, I hurried to your side
Only thinking to protect you from all harm
You threw your arms around me, it was like a dream
And what we knew was bound to happen dead
Then the doorway framed your husband, and I heard you scream
And unless you speak tomorrow, I'll be dead
[Chorus]
Say that you are willing, Barbara Joy
The face you're saving gives away your sin
All your husband's money can't restore his pride
Say that you are willing, don't let me die
Barbara, say that you are willing, don't let me die
