I had a ladyI thought was so fine
I knew she loved meshe stayed on my mind
And then one morningI woke up
And she was gone
There was a notelayin' by the bedside
Tellin' me she's gone
And now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone
She found anotherlord
Much better than me
Treats her like a lady
Like she oughta be
And now she's happylord
So happy and free
Don't have to worrylord
About a man like me
And now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone

She found anotherlord
Much better than me
Treats her like a lady
Like she oughta be
And now she's happylord
So happy and free
Don't have to worry
About a man like me
And now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone
And she's gone gone gone just gone
