Oh you say that you're goin' away and leave me And you say you ain't never coming back That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing 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 Oh your wounded pride has blinded your reason And right now you want to hurt me if you can The man is waiting here to take you to the station And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand 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
