The Dark End Of The Street – Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton (originally by James Carr)
By
At the dark end of the street, that’s where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don’t belong living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me at the dark end of the street, you and me
I know that time’s gonna take its toll, we have to pay for the love we stole It’s a sin and we know it’s wrong, oh, but our love keeps a coming on strong Steal away to the dark end of the street, you and me
They’re gonna find us, yes, they’re gonna find us They’re gonna find us, Lord, some day You and me at the dark end of the street, you and me
And when the daylight hours roll ’round, and by ten we’re both downtown If we should meet, you just walk on by, oh, my darling, now please don’t you cry Tonight we’ll meet at the dark end of the street, you and me
