Now She's Gone

She was her daddy's little darling

Her mama's only child

They didn't understand at all

When she took to running wild

She left town one day

And never said goodbye

And left a hole in Daddy's lap

And a tear in Mama's eye

Where'd we go wrong?

And now she's gone

She met a boy up in Kentucky

Charlie was his name

Just when he thought he got lucky

She stole his watch and chain

She always kept on moving

And she never wasted time

And they said

She left quite a string of broken hearts behind

Woke up alone

And now she's gone

Me, I wasn't even trying

You could say I was content

She went through my life like lightning

Blew out the other end

Well I still taste her kisses

Smell her perfume in the wind

And if I could

You know that I would do it all again

She done me wrong

And now she's gone
