Well now do you miss me say you do tell me darling please tell me true
Do you yearn dear for my return dear I'm low and lonely over you [ dobro - strings ]
Low and lonely now I'm weary too you're the only true love I knew
Don't be long dear you know it's wrong dear I'm low and lonely over you
Yes you're my darling you're my dear you can trust me never fear
How I miss you I long to kiss you I'm low and lonely over you
**********
All through the years how I've loved you
Still I know I've claimed you for my own
Someday you'll call my name I won't answer
For someday you'll find yourself alone [ steel ]
There'll come a time in your life dear
When you'll need someone who will care
Someday you'll call my name I won't answer
For someday you're gonna find yourself alone
Oh for someday you're gonna find yourself alone

Last night quietly she walked through my mind
As I lay searchin' for sleep
Her soft hands reached out she whispered my name
As she brushed a tear from my cheek
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings
Started walking all over my mind [ guitar ]
Well now I must go on be strong though a million teardrops may fall
Before those funny familiar forgotten feelings
Stopped walking all over my mind
**********
Well it's a long long way to Georgia but I'm headin' south today
Yes it's a long long way to Georgia but I'm goin' home to stay [ whistle ]
Well my mother sure meet me I know and she will try hold back the tears
My father brother and sister they will try to hide all the fears
Yes it's a long long way to Georgia... [ whistle ]
Georgia

Well if I only had one ear to listen to the lies that you told to me
Well then I more closely resemble the half a man you made of me
(If I only had one arm to hold you well better yet if I had none at all
Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache for you
There'd be one less mem'ry to recall)
Well if I only had one ear to listen...
The half a man you made of me
**********
Until someday oh you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Though you don't want me now I'll get along somehow
Then I won't I won't want you [ whistle ]
And though you don't want me now I'll get along somehow
And then I won't I won't want you
**********
Oh well I love you today I may not tomorrow
You'll give me your love I'll give you back a lot of sorrow
Be on your way before it's too late
And forget me I said forget me I'll never fall again [ steel ]
Oh yes I love you today...
**********
By stars above I swear to love you with all the love I've ever known
Now we're apart you'll always own me when teardrops start I walk alone [ guitar ]
Well the flame of love is brightly burning you know that I'm your very own
Each night I'll pray for your returning but while you're gone I walk alone mhm
**********
And you can't keep a sad heart from dreaming
And just laugh it off when you're blue
You can't pick a rose in December and I can't keep from loving you [ guitar ]
You can't keep a sad heart...
**********
So don't think of taking his loved one it's written Thou shall not steal
Oh don't rob another man's castle no matter how lonesome you feel [ guitar ]
No don't rob another man's castle no matter how lonesome you feel
