George (and The North Woods) Lyrics - Dave Dudley

George I was just a layin' here thinking I'm blind for that I was all alone 

Old timer if you weren't here to guide me I'd be lost and they'd never find my bones 

I just came here to the North Woods for some thinking 

A man's just gotta rest once in a while 

And I'm really glad you're still around to guide me 

It seems to me we walked a hundred miles 

You know how much I've always liked this cabin it's quiet and I get a chance to think 

I just can't figure things out in that city the bars are there and you know how I drink 

You know George I made a fortune in the big town my name is on the city limit sign 

And then fate laid her heavy hand upon me 

And brought the accident that left me blind 

Old buddy you know how that woman did me I guess you knew her better than I did 

George I guess you knew how much it hurt me 

The day the judge gave her our little kids 

She said she wouldn't care if I should drop dead 

With all that insurance I don't guess she would 

Most people think the wilderness is quiet 

But just listen to the wolves out in the woods 

Well tomorrow when I'll leave here I'll be different 

I'll ride the train when they say all aboard 

You've spent a lotta time here in the North Woods 

You are still goin' with me aren't you George 

George George where are you George 

George no kiddin' now George George don't foolin' where are you George
