Willie Nelson Album

Way down in Columbus Georgia wanna be back in Tennessee
Way down in Columbus Stockade friends have turned their backs on me
Go on and leave me if you wish to never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another leave me little darlin' I don't mind
Way down in Columbus Georgia...
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Way down in Columbus Georgia...
Leave me little darlin' I don't mind leave me little darlin' I don't mind

The seasons come, the seasons go
We get a little sunshine, rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be
But there's no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
cause the flowers will bloom eternally.

Your leaving, will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring, it could bring some glad tomorrow
And darlin' we could be happy after all.

As it all is in natures' plan
No season gets the upper hand. Oh
How I tried to keep this fact in mind
The trees are bare, the cold wind blows
And by experience I know
That winter comes, but the spring is close behind.

Your leaving, will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring, it could bring some glad tomorrow
And darlin' we could be happy.. after all...

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
But what good is life without the one you love
I'd trade all of my tomorrows they're worthless anyway
If I can't hold the one I'm dreaming of
Just an empty world is all I have before me I'd give anything if you were with me now
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
I don't want to live without you anyhow
[ guitar ]
Just an empty world...

My window faces the south I'm almost halfway to heaven
Snow is falling but still I can't see fields of cotton calling to me
My window faces the south and though I am far from the Swanee
I'm never frownin' or down in the mouth my window faces the south
[ fiddle - ac.guitar ]
My window faces the south...
My window faces the south

Your watching your watch and I know what's on your mind
There's someone home waiting and you're away over time
What should be so right is as wrong as can be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
I love you I love you I love only you
But the one home who's waiting he loves you too
He's worried and he's wondering where can you be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Though I want you and I need you desperately
But to hide here in the darkness is as wrong as can be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Go on home you don't belong here with me

Far across deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and left her now I can't forget her I miss my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein Fraulein walk down by the river pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you you are my pretty Fraulein
[ steel - fiddle ]
When my memories wander away over yonder to the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory a face comes before me the face of my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens
Each night when the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you you are my pretty Fraulein

Deep within my heart lies a melody a song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory beneath the stars all alone
Cause it was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo and rose my Rose of San Antone
Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love my own
Broken song empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo and rose my Rose of San Antone
[ guitar - steel - fiddle ]
Well now moon and all your splendor...
Rose my Rose of San Antone rose my Rose of San Antone

I love you because you understand dear every single thing I try to do
And you're always there to lend a halping hand dear
But most of all I love you cause you're you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me but most of all I love you cause you're you
[ fiddle ]
I love you because my heart is lighter every time I'm walking by your side
And I love you because the future's brighter the door to happiness you opened wide
No matter what may be the style or season
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you cause you're you

You make my eyes run over all the time and you're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
You must think that I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have one in such a long long while
Still I keep running back how can this be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
[ steel ]
You must think that I look bad...
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me

Haven't got a worry haven't got a care I haven't got a thing to call my own
Though I'm out of money and I'm a millionaire
I still have my home in San Antone when I greet my neighbor with a hi y'all
I'm wealthy as a king upon a throne
But when I feel like braggin' I just up and say I'm a native son of San Antone
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Well I travel around the country on my merry way
I've been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin' I just up and say I'm a native son of San Antone
There's a sweet somebody by the Alamo someday she's goin' to be my very own
And we'll buy a high chair in a year or so for our little home in San Antone
For our little home in San Antone
[ fiddle ]
For our little home in San Antone
[ fiddle ]
For our little home in San Antone

Heartache number one was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay
Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Every day you love me less each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
But the day that I'll stop counting that's the day my world would end
[ guitar ]
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way
Now I've got heartaches by the number...
And the day that I'll stop counting that's the day my world will end

I'm making believe that you still love me and it's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream but I'll never own you I'll keep loving you and making believe
I can't hold you close darling when you're not with me
You're somebody's love now and you'll never be mine
I'll always dream but I'll never own you I'll keep loving you and making believe
[ steel ]
I'm making believe...
