Don't Go - George Jones, Melba Montgomery

As I sat at home with my troubles today

I was tempted to walk the wrong way

I remember the voice that once led me from sin

And I heard the same voice again

Don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go back to the tavern and sin

Don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go back and start drinking again

I could hear lots of laughter just over the way

My friends sounded happy and gay

I started to walk but my knees gave away

As I fell I heard the voice say

Don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go just kneel by your bedside and pray

Don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go God will answer your prayers today

God freed me from sin like he did once before

Now I’m happy as a man can be

God’s voice sounded pleased as he spoke the next words

God must have seen a great change in me

Go on go on go on go on ask your friends there to kneel down and pray

Go on go on go on go on ask God will answer their prayers today
