Dave Dudley - George (and The North Woods) Lyrics

George I was just a layin' here thinking I'm blind for that I was all alone

Old timer if you weren't here to guide me I'd be lost and they'd never find my bones

I just came here to the North Woods for some thinking

A man's just gotta rest once in a while

And I'm really glad you're still around 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 that city the bars are there and you know how I drink

You know George I made a fortune in the big town my name is on the city limit sign

And then fate laid her heavy hand 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 the judge gave her our little kids

She said she wouldn't care if I should drop dead

With all that insurance I don't guess she would

Most people think the wilderness is quiet

But just listen to the wolves out in the woods

Well tomorrow when I'll leave here I'll be different

I'll ride the train when they say all aboard

You've spent a lotta time here in the North Woods

You are still goin' with me aren't you George

George George where are you George

George no kiddin' now George George don't foolin' where are you George
