Out in the courtyard, cold & it's so hard
Now Betty's crying, she wants to die
Coz it's over, die, but she
Knows that her grieving, it's not achieving
What Bet's believing, he will return
[Chorus:]
Alecs gone, Alecs gone, Alecs gone
Alecs gone, Alecs gone, Alecs gone
Away oo oo oo gone away oo oo ooo
Down in The Rovers, Bet can't get over
What he said to her, he will return
Alecs gone
He's gone, done a bunk [guitar bit]
Betty's still dreaming, inside she's screaming
Out for the day that he will return
Alecs gone
