Stay away from me, you're causing me trouble. It's been that way, since from the start. Go on your way, you have another waiting. Stay away from me, you're breaking my heart.
So you're walkin' with your girls. You're walkin' with your guys. I can see my reflection. In the glass over your eyes. When you're lookin' at the skies.
Where is the love that you promised 'neath the pine?. Gone like the flowers in the fall. You crossed your heart, now you're double crossing mine. You've been pretending after all.
I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. Lord, I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. 'Cause you keep me worried troubled. Troubled all the time. .
It was in the spring one sunny day. My good gal left me Lord she went away. . And now she's gone but I don't worry. 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
Sitting alone in the moonlight. Thinking of the days gone by. Wondering about my darling. I can still hear her saying goodbye. . Oh, the moon grows pale as I sit here.

Listen to that rain a-falling. Can'nt you hear that lonesome sound?. My poor old heart is breaking. Since my sweet love ain't around.. . Lord I think I start to ramble.
When you reach that golden city. (Golden city). Friends and loved ones you shall see. (You shall see). When the saints come out to meet you. (Out to meet you).
Shady Grove my little love. Shady Grove my darlin. Shady Grove my little love. I'm a goin' back to harlem. . Went to see my Shady Grove. She's a standin in the door.
I got me in bed and covered my head. Wish I was dead with Sally Jo. Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo. . Since you have gone my days are turned to night.
Dear sweetheart as I write to you my heart is filled with pain. For if those things I hear are true I'll never see you again. They tell me darlin' that tonight you'll wed another man.
I can barely move. For want of room. And I'm forgettin' to breathe. . But the sight of you. Has me instantly. Remember my needs. . Oh the lights spin.
I'm going to that east pay road. I'm going to that east pay road. I'm going to the east. I going to the west. I'm going to the one that I love best. .
Telly Man, standin' on a band stand, grand standin'. Bendin' and bangin' them strings. Eye-candy shakin' on the dance floor. Sayin', "Play me one more", makin' a scene.
I ain't gonna work on the railroad. I ain't gonna work on the farm. Gonna lay around the shack. Till the mail train comes back. And I roll in my sweet baby's arms.
