My Baby's Gone

My baby's gone : and I'm almost in my grave

But for your love : good gal I will be you slave

My baby left me : says she didn't mean me no good

And that's the reason why : I'm moving on back to the woods

My baby left me : she didn't even say goodbye

Says I'm drinking real good whiskey : that's the reason I did not *inquire why*

My baby's gone : says I ain't even worried at all

Before she even left me : says she riding that Cannonball

Mmm : Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord

Says my good gal she's gone : she didn't mean me no good at all
