Oh you say that you're goin' away and leave me

And you say you ain't never coming back

That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing

And you're gonna head off down the track

But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you

And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had

If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces

So take it slow be sure you know before you go

[ guitar ]

Oh your wounded pride has blinded your reason

And right now you want to hurt me if you can

The man is waiting here to take you to the station

And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand

But darlin' before you go...
