WAIT A LITTE LONGER, PLEASE JESUS As recorded by Merle Haggard & Bonnie Owens (From the 1966 Album JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF US) [Intro] A7 N.C. [Verse 1]
         D                        G                 D
Here the labor is so hard and the workers, they are tired

                                        A
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest

      D                             G                D
And I find we're getting anxious to be in that happy home

                         A              D
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
[Chorus]
D                                A
But wait a little longer please, Jesus

                                   D
There are so many wandering out in sin

                             A
Just a little longer please, Jesus

                                      D
A few more days to get our loved ones in
[Guitar& Pedal Steel Solos] D A D A7 D [Verse 2]
D                                      G                  D
Family scattered here and there and oh Lord, we love them dear

                              A
Maybe we can help them find a way

       D                             G                   D
But if waiting is the cost, dear old Lord, they might be lost

                    A             D
And that's the only reason why we say
[Chorus]
D                                A
But wait a little longer please, Jesus

                                   D
There are so many wandering out in sin

                             A
Just a little longer please, Jesus

                                      D
A few more days to get our loved ones in

  A                                   D
A few more days to get our loved ones in
