I had a lady... I thought was so fine I knew she loved me... she stayed on my mind And then one morning... I woke up And she was gone There was a note... layin' 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 another... lord Much better than me Treats her like a lady Like she oughta be And now she's happy... lord So happy and free Don't have to worry... lord 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 another... lord Much better than me Treats her like a lady Like she oughta be And now she's happy... lord 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
