(Dolly Parton) I drifted into Arkansas in the middle of September I hadn't planned to stay for long Just to visit an old friend that I remembered Quite surprised he asked if I could stay till late October And help him with his crops till harvest time was over. He offered me a clean white bed Said that I was welcome at his table But I told him that I'd eat outside Bed down in the barn above the stables. I told him that I didn't want to be no trouble To his lovely wife But he didn't know she was the reason That I'd come 'cause I loved her more than life. Oh Melinda, I just had to see you one more time Melinda I won't 'cause you any trouble with my stay Oh Melinda, I just had to see you one more time Melinda One more time Melinda then I'll go away. Melinda it's so good to see you happy I had always hoped you would be I know you couldn't help it that you loved him More than you love me. I know he's a good man And he's always been a friend of mine And I think the world of both of you And I just had to see you one more time. Oh Melinda, I just had to see you one more time Melinda I won't 'cause you any trouble with my stay Oh Melinda, I just had to see you one more time Melinda One more time Melinda then I'll go away. One more time Melinda then I'll go away... |
