Mrs. Adela Songtext
von E.N Young

Mrs. Adela, where′d you go?
Mrs. Adela, they took you so
Mrs. Adela, we need to know
Where did you go, my friend?

I got the news at 6 PM
That Adela was gone
Taken in the night
Oh, what a fright
It was a kidnapping
Across the border
Family got the call
They want a million dollars
Oh no, how could this be?
Lord God have mercy

Mrs. Adela, where'd you go?
Mrs. Adela, they took you so


She never did no wrong
She never hurt no one
Always tried her best
I always knew she was
A loving one
Never deserved no gun
Lord have mercy
God have mercy
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on her soul

Mrs. Adela, where′d you go?
Mrs. Adela, they took you so
Mrs. Adela, we need to know
Where did you go, my friend?
Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
Well we need to know

Adela's family gathered 'round
And they prayed to God

Prayed for her strength
Knowledge and understanding
Even for the bad men
Once again
Family got the call
They want a million dollars
Oh no, how could this be?


God please have mercy
Lord please have mercy
God please have mercy
Lord please have mercy

Well I remember when
She helped me print my first CD
I always knew she was
A loving one
Never deserved no gun
Lord have mercy

Mrs. Adela, where′d you go?
Mrs. Adela, they took you so
Mrs. Adela, we need to know
Where did you go, my friend?

Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
Well tell me where did you go, my friend?

Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
We need to know where you went, my friend
I need to know where you went, my friend
Well tell me where did you go, my friend?
Well we need to know
