Oh you say that you're goin' away and leave me   And you say you ain't never comin' back   That you're sick and tired of how I'm doin'   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   And that man is here to take you to the station   And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand   But darlin' before you go...
