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 hangin' on her door

Oh, she’ll laugh when she reads the part that says I’m leavin'

'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 ringin'

Off the wall, that’s all

By the time I make Oklahoma, she’ll be sleepin'

She’ll turn softly and call my name out loud

And she’ll cry, just to think I’d really leave her

Though time and time, I tried to tell her so

She just didn’t know I would really go
