My good gal is gone, don't know why she went away
Yes, my gal's gone, don't know why she went away
All I know is she's gone didn't have a word to say.

When she left me, Lord, I just sat down and I cried
When she left me, Lord, I just sat down and cried
I felt so blue and lonesome I thought I would commit suicide.

Every time I want you I always find you gone
Every time I want you I always find you gone
Listen here, pretty mama, I'm gonna put your airbrakes on.

I'm not singin' blues I'm just tellin' you the hard luck I've had
I'm not singin' blues I'm just tellin' you the hard luck I've had
'Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad...
