Dorothy |
| Livin' in Kansas, a life alone |
| She never married, she’s hardly known |
| She stares out her window far away |
| Lookin' for another windy day |
| Dorothy was a fool to leave |
| She could have stayed |
| She held it right in her hand |
| She had it made |
| She could have had it all for keeps |
| But was afraid |
| She could have stayed |
| Seems like only yesterday |
| But forty years have up and slipped away |
| Since a lovely, black-haired girl |
| Was taken from her one and only world |
| Dorothy was a fool to leave |
| She could have stayed |
| She held it right in her hand |
| She had it made |
| She could have had it all for keeps |
| But was afraid |
| She could have stayed |
| Same ol' bluebirds flyin' high |
| Over rainbows in the Kansas sky |
| Why, oh, why |
| Oh, why? |
| I guess it only serves her right |
| For trading all that color for black and white |
| All her sorrow, all because |
| There ain’t no way to stand Kansas when you, you’ve been to Oz |
| Dorothy was a fool to leave |
| She could have stayed |
| She held it right in her hand |
| She had it made |
| She could have had it all for keeps |
| But was afraid |
| She could have stayed |
| She could have stayed |
| She could have stayed |
