—Harlan Howard, first recorded by Lefty Frizzel
She said if I ever deceived her
She'd be gone before I could count ten
I guess that I didn't believe her
'Cause look at the trouble I'm in
Chorus:
She's gone, gone, gone… gone, gone, gone
Crying won't bring her back
The more that I cry the faster that train flies
Farther on down the track
I've lost every right to be happy
When I lost the heaven I found
She warned me she'd leave and she left me
Before my first tear hit the ground
Chorus
If I only knew where to find her
I'd crawl there on my hands and knees
Each tick of the clock's a reminder
She's one second farther from me
Chorus
