The Last Thing on My Mind

The Last Thing on My Mind - Dolly Parton/Tom Paxton

Composed by：Tom Paxton

It's a lesson too late for the learning

Made of sand made of sand

In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'

In your hand in your hand

Are you going away with no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

I could've loved you better

I didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'

'Round and 'round 'round and 'round

Underneath our feet a subway's rumblin'

Underground underground

Are you going away with no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

I could've loved you better

I didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reason a plenty for goin'

This I know this I know

The weeds have been steadily growin'

Please don't go please don't go

Are you going away with no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

I could've loved you better

I didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

You know that was the last thing on my mind
