Lyrics By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Harry Belafonte

By The Time I Get To Phoenix she? ll be rising

She? ll find the note I left hanging on her door

Oh she? ll laugh when she reads the part that says I? m leaving

? Cause I? ve left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she? ll be working

She? ll probably stop at lunch and give me a call

But she? ll just hear that phone keep on ringing on the wall that? s all

By the time I make Oklahoma she? ll be sleeping

She? ll turn softly and call my name out low

And she? ll cry just to think I? d really leave her oh

Though time and time I? ve tried to tell her so

She just didn? t know I would really go
