WAITING ON THE SUN TO SHINE
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

CHORUS: WOE IS ME, TROUBLE IS MINE
WAITING ON THE SUN TO SHINE
VERSE 1: IT'S AWFUL DARK IN THIS 'OLE HOLLER
I CAN HEAR THE HOOT OWL CALL
I DONE WRONG AND I'M IN TROUBLE
I AIN'T GOT NO FRIENDS AT ALL

VERSE 2: GEORGIA WOMEN, GEORGIA WHISKEY
GEORGIA DOGS UPON MY TRAIL
SOONER SPEND MY LIFE IN DARKNESS
THEN TO SPEND MY LIFE IN JAIL
REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: LEFT THAT GAL IN THAT OLD BAR ROOM
TELLING LIES AND HAVING FUN
LET ME KISS HER, LET ME HOLD HER
TOLD HER HUSBAND WHAT I'D DONE

VERSE 4: THEY SAID I KILLED HER JEALOUS HUSBAND
I AIN'T GUILTY HEAVEN KNOWS
CUT MYSELF WHILE I WAS SHAVING
I HAD BLOOD UPON MY CLOTHES
REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 5: IF I HAD A JUG OF WHISKEY
I COULD HAVE A LITTLE SIP
I COULD REST MY WEARY BODY
WITH A SMILE UPON MY LIPS
VERSE 6: GOING BACK TO EAST VIRGINIA
THROUGH THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE
GOING BACK TO MAMA'S HOME PLACE
WITH THEM DOGS STILL CHASING ME
REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 7: IT'S AWFUL DARK IN THIS OLE HOLLER
I CAN HEAR THE COLD WIND MOAN
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP TOMORROW
THEY'LL BE HERE BUT I'LL BE GONE

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
