PACKIN' AND UNPACKIN'
(Leon Ashley)


Merle Kilgore - 1969





Worn out the tickets that I bought to leave you
Never seem to make the train on time
Worn out my suitcase packin' and unpackin'
Packin' and unpackin', that's the story of my life

One minute I'm a-packin', determined to go
Makin' reservations where I know I won't show
Then before I know it, find myself unpackin'
These old worn out things of mine

Packin' and unpackin', yeah, packin' and unpackin'
That's the story of my life

(Instrumental Break)

Worn out the tickets that I bought to leave you
Never seem to make the train on time
Worn out my suitcase packin' and unpackin'
Packin' and unpackin', that's the story of my life

One minute I'm a-packin', determined to go
Makin' reservations where I know I'll never show
Then before I know it, find myself unpackin'
These old worn out things of mine

Packin' and unpackin', yeah, packin' and unpackin'
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
