Georgia Lee |
| Cold was the night, hard was the ground |
| They found her in a small grove of trees |
| Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found |
| She’s too young to be out on the street |
| Why wasn’t God watching? |
| Why wasn’t God listening? |
| Why wasn’t God there for Georgia Lee? |
| Ida said she couldn’t keep Georgia from dropping out of school |
| I was doing the best that I could |
| But she kept runnin' away from this world |
| These children are so hard to raise good |
| Why wasn’t God watching? |
| Why wasn’t God listening? |
| Why wasn’t God there for Georgia Lee? |
| Close your eyes and count to ten |
| I will go and hide but then be sure to find me |
| I want you to find me and we’ll play all over |
| We will play all over again |
| There’s a toad in the witch grass, there’s a crow in the corn |
| Wild flowers on a cross by the road |
| And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom |
| As the hills turn from green back to gold |
| Why wasn’t God watching? |
| Why wasn’t God listening? |
| Why wasn’t God there for Georgia Lee? |
