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
And now, she's gone, gone, gone, just gone
Now, she's gone, gone, gone, just gone

She found another love, 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, 'bout 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, much better than me
Don't have to worry 'bout 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

And now, she's gone, gone, gone, just gone
