written by Don Whitney and Ernest Tubb
C F
Don’t stay too long cause I’m too lonesome
G7 C
Don’t stay too long cause I’m too blue
F
When you’re away I’m so downhearted
G7 C
Don’t stay too long cause I love you
F
When you are here I’m so contented
G7 C
Each minute is a joy for me
F
But when you go my heart starts crying
G7 C
My darling want you heed my plea
F
Your letters come but still I’m lonely
G7 C
Cause letters can’t erase my tears
F
In dreams I have my arms around you
G7 C
The days and nights now seem like years
F
I’ll walk the floor and think about you
G7 C
I just can’t find a thing to do
F
But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure
G7 C
I can’t get by if I can’t have you
Repeat #1
