She just didn't know I would really go


By the time I make Alburquerque she'll be working.
She'll probably stop and lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear that phone
Keep on ringing off the wall--
---------that's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping.
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think 
I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
