& His

If I'M NOT TOO LATE
(Hank Thompson)

Well I walked right out and didn’t say goodbye
I left you here to root hog or die
I’m crawling back to arbitrate
Take me back if I’m not too late

I couldn’t blame you if you turned me down
You treat me like a common hound
I love you babe let me negotiate
Take me back if I’m not too late

I did a lot of drinking and then a lot of thinking
The way I treated you was a crime
And though my head was swimming all the other women
I couldn’t get you off my mind

I failed so bad I hang my head in shame
Go ahead and call me a dirty name
One more chance and I’ll play it straight
Take me back if I’m not too late

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo

Oo-we-oo-we baby it’s not too late
Ooo-oo-we baby you’re my date
Ooo-ooo-we baby won’t you wait
Ooo-ooo-we baby you’re my date

I’ve a crazy notion
To jump right in the ocean
If you decide to turn me down

I know that you are bitter
But won’t you reconsider
And let me hang around

I know I don’t deserve your sympathy
I’ve been about as wrong as wrong as can be

But don’t tell me to go catch a freight
Take me back if I’m not too late
