Georgia Lee

Cold was the night and hard was the ground
 They found her in a small grove of trees
 Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
 She's too young to be out on the street
 Why wasn't God watching?
 Why wasn't God listening?
 Why wasn't God there
 For Georgia Lee?
 Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school
 "I was doing the best that I could
 But she just kept running away from this world
 These children are so hard to raise good"
 Why wasn't God watching?
 Why wasn't God listening?
 Why wasn't God there
 For Georgia Lee?
 Close your eyes and count to ten
 And I will go and hide, but then
 Be sure to find me, I want you to find me
 And we'll play all over
 We'll play all over
 We'll play all over
 Again
 There's a toad in the witch grass, there's a crow in the corn
 Wild flowers on a cross by the road
 And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom
 As the hills turn from green back to gold
 Why wasn't God watching?
 Why wasn't God listening?
 Why wasn't God there
 For Georgia Lee?
 Why wasn't God watching?
 Why wasn't God listening?
 Why wasn't God there
 For Georgia Lee?
