Don't Stay Too Long - Ernest Tubb

Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too lonesome

Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too blue

When you’re away I’m so downhearted

Don’t stay too long 'cause I love you

When you are here I’m so contented

Each minute is a joy for me

But when you go my heart starts crying

My darling won’t you heed my plea

Oh Billy Bird now

Your letters come but still I’m lonely

'Cause letters can’t erase my tears

In dreams I have my arms around you

The days and nights now seem like years

I’ll walk the floor and think about you

I just can’t find a thing to do

But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure

I can’t get by if I can’t have you

Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too lonesome

Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too blue

When you’re away I’m so downhearted

Don’t stay too long 'cause I love you
