Georgia Lee lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, cold was the night, and hard was the ground,

They found her in a small grove of trees,

And lonesome was the place ...where Georgia was found,

She's too young to be out on the street!

[Chorus]

Why wasn't God watching?

Why wasn't God listening?

Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?

[Verse 2]

Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school,

"I was doing the best that I could,

Oh, but she just kept running ...a way from this world,

These children are so hard to raise good!"

[Chorus]

Why wasn't God watching?

Why wasn't God listening

Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?

[Bridge]

Close your eyes, and count to ten, and 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'll play ...all over,

We'll play ...all over a gain!

[Verse 3]

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!

[Chorus]

Why wasn't God watching?

Why wasn't God listening?

Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?

Why wasn't God watching?

Why wasn't God listening?

Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
