Jennings, Waylon - Tulsa Lyrics






When I left Tulsa Jamie was an innocent young lady
God only knows why she gave herself to a guy like you
She called me cryin' said she was gonna have your baby
You just turned your back on her like all cowards do.

I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through
And the only reason I ain't got you
Jamie cried and begged me not to
She still loves you for some reason

But don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
If the sun goes down on you
If you're still here you're goin' down too
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa.

[Instrumental]

Jamie is the only thing I ever really cared for
She don't deserve this kind of shame
She's carryin' the child that you're to blame for
You just laughed and said
There ain't no way it's gonna get your name.

But I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through
And the only reason I ain't got you
Jamie cried and begged me not to
But I ain't through with you yet
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa.

Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa.
Better not let the sun set on you in Tulsa.
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa...

  6. M.... M....

    Okay l have not yet found a waylon Jennings song I don't like. I confess I have been on the moon. Alien kidnapped me in 1971. I did not know he was this great. Damn!

  7. G.... M....

    True country gold. What a voice. I haven't heard this song in about 45 years. My mother had this album and this was my favorite song. There will never be another Waylon.

    G.... M....

    omg what a strong voice! GOLD

  8. J.... S....

    RIP to the composer, Wayne Carson (Thompson). Great friend and writer.

    JUST AS GOOD AS GOLD!!...Thank you soooo much for posting and sharing this "rarely heard anymore" lil' country ditty that peaked at #16 in early 1971...I thoroughly enjoyed it!....(and the sound quality is first-rate too!) Take care! :)

  11. L.... L....

    I guess I love every song Waylon ever did. But this and Cedartown Georgia have to be the best ever for me

  12. t.... ....

    there will never be anyone that could hold a candle to waylon.

  13. t.... ....

    one of my favorites. thanks for posting.

  14. D.... M....

    Thanks for posting this great song. I remember hearing it, and Wayon for the first time on the radio in Denver. I was hooked!

  15. Z.... ....

    I used to work out to this 8 track. Work out to Waylon Jennings, you ask....Hell yeah. Now that this album is reissued on CD it makes it even better. As long as I have my stereo, Waylon will be "alive" in my home. Excellent post.

  16. b.... ....

    From his album, TULSA/THE TAKER, released in 1971, not long before he took complete control of his music and also grew out his hair and beard. It was the first country album I ever bought.

  17. S.... ....

    his voice gives me goose bumps

  18. l.... ....

    AWESOME, AWESOME!

  19. b.... ....

    haven't heard this song in years-must be somewhere on the "waylon files". nice again. tks for sharing it
