Have I stayed away too long?
I don’t need the chords or the tune, just he words. My dad used to sing it when I was a kid and I can't remember all the words. This was about 40 years ago so it’s not a new song! Thanks, Brian |

HAVE I STAYED AWAY TOO LONG?
Have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
I'm just outside of town
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
Have all of my dreams gone wrong? Stayed away too long? [Recorded by Hank Snow, Perry Como, the Louvin Brothers, Tex Ritter, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell, and others.]

It's from "Homer and Jethro Fracture Frank Loesser." HAVE I STAYED AWAY TOO LONG As sung by Homer & Jethro Have I stayed away too long From my lovin' wife at home? Should I wake her up tonight and try to smooth it over, Or should I call her on the phone? Tonight I'm really in a stew. I wish I knew just what to do. I shore am in a pickle 'cause my life ain't worth a nickel. If I face her, I'll be black and blue. I'm just outside the house As quiet as a mouse. I sure do dread to meet her face to face. If she meets me with a knife, Jest to save my life, I'll keep the motor runnin' just in case. Have all of my plans gone wrong? I'd much rather face King Kong. I stepped out fer cigars, oh, but that was last November. Now have I stayed away too long? |
