WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO
(Frank Luther)


Roy Acuff - 1940
Webb Pierce - 1962





I'd forgive you, but what good would it do
One can't make a go of love, it takes two
Oh, you can't keep up a home with a heart that wants to roam
I'd forgive you, but what good would it do

I'd come back, dear, but what good would it do
We would have those same old fights to go through
And I'd much rather be dead than to hear those words you said
I'd forgive you, but what good would it do

(Instrumental Break)

I still love you, but what good will it do
After all I can't tell you what to do
We are fond of certain ways, dear, and that's the way we stay
I'd forgive you, but what good would it do

I could blame you but what good would it do
One can't make a go of love, it takes two
Oh, you can't keep up a home with a heart that wants to roam
I'd forgive you, but what good would it do
