(Tex Ritter - Hank Hartford)

You cheated me and made me lonely
I tried to be your very own
There'll be a day you'll want me only
'Cause when I leave I'll be a long time gone.

You're gonna be sad, you're gonna be weepin'
You're gonna be blue and all alone
You'll regret the day you seen me leavin'
'Cause when I leave I'll be a long time gone.

Be a long time gone, be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave I'll be a long time gone.

--- Instrumental ---

You'll see my face through tears and sorrow
You'll miss the love you called your own
Baby there'll be no tomorrow
'Cause when I leave I'll be a long time gone.

Be a long time gone, be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone, be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave I'll be a long time gone.

Be a long time gone, be a long time gone, be a long time gone...
