Doc Watson — That Was the Last Thing on My Mind

[Verse 1] It's a lesson too late for the learnin' Made of sand, made of sand In a wink of an eye, my soul is turnin' In your hand, in your hand [Chorus] Are you goin' away with no words of farewell? Can there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind You know, that was the last thing on my mind [Verse 2] You got reasons a-plenty for goin' This I know, this I know For the weeds have been steadily growin' Please don't go, please don't go [Chorus] Are you goin' away with no words of farewell? Can there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind You know, that was the last thing on my mind [Verse 3] As I lie in my bed in the morning Without you, without you Each song in my breast dies a-burnin' Without you, without you [Chorus] Are you goin' away with no words of farewell? Can there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind You know, that was the last thing on my mind [Outro] Yes, that was the last thing on my mind
