Long gone is how I'm leaving
Long gone, why do you cry
This is what you wanted baby
So I'm gone, long gone
I have tried to make you happy
Still you say I've done you wrong
Oh I'm giving up my darling
So I'm gone, long gone
* Refrain
Please don't try to overtake me
What I ride will be too fast
This is it, we're through forever
I'm gone, I'm free at last
* Refrain
Please don't shed no tears at parting
For your tears will not atone
After all the pain you cause me
I'm gone, long gone
* Refrain
Now if I find this to be true, dear
I want you to please understand
When I return don't say you're sorry
Just keep on loving another man
* Refrain
