I'll Stay Around

Flatt And Scruggs · Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs

Now you just told me that you're leaving

On the next train coming down

I love you dear but I won't follow

I just think I'll stay around

For I know someday you'll want me

When your true love can't be found

But if you go dear I won't follow

I just think I'll stay around

You know my dear I'll always love you

And I'd never let you down

But if you go dear I won't follow

I just think I'll stay around

Someday you'll hear that whistle blowing

On the special coming down

You'll be looking for me baby

But I may not be around

I'll Stay Around
