Cold was the night and hard was the ground. They found her in a small grove of trees. And 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 kept runnin. 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. I will got and hide but then. Be sure to find me, I want you to find me. And we'll play all over. We will play all over We'll pay 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?
