George (and The North Woods) Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

You know George I was just layin' here 

Thinking about me being blind and all alone 

Old timer if you weren't here to guide me 

I'd be lost and they'd never find mybones 

I just came here to the North Woods for some thinking 

And you know a man just get to rest once in a while 

And I'm really glad you came along to guide me 

It seems to me we walked a hundred miles 

You know how much I've always liked this cabin 

It's quiet and I get a chance to think 

I just can't figure things out in the city 

The bars are there and you know how I drink

You know George I made a fortune in the big town 

Why my name was on the city limit sign 

And then fate laid her heavy hands upon me 

And brought the accident that left me blind 

Old buddy you know how that woman did me 

I guess you knew her better than I did 

George I guess you knew how much it hurt me 

The day that old judge gave her both my kids 

But she said she wouldn't care if I's to drop dead 

With all that insurance I don't guess she would 

Most people think the wilderness is quiet 

Would you listen to the wolves out in the woods

Well, tomorrow when I'll leave here I'll be a changed man 

I'm gonna ride those trains when they yell all aboard 

You spent a lotta time here in the big woods 

I'm really glad you're goin' with me George 

George, George, George are you there? 

Hey man, you're not puttin' me on, are you George?
