Chorus 1
My woman is gone, (woman is gone),
My woman is gone, (woman is gone).
Verse 1
She had left me; a note, hanging on my door.
She say she couldn't take it,
She couldn't, take any more.
The pressure a-round me; just couldn't see.
She felt like a prisoner, who, needs to be free.
Verse 2
Fools have tried, yeah; wisemen have failed.
Oh, listen to me, honey;
Life could never be another jail.
Still we know now;
We'll never see smoke without fire.
And every-one you see, has a heart de-sire.
Chorus 2
She's gone, (she's gone), she's gone, (she's gone),
She's gone, (she's gone), she's gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird have you, ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird have you, ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Verse 3
She made it through the exit;
(She just couldn't take it).
She made it through the exit;
(She just couldn't take it).
And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin';
My woman is gone.
If you see me, if you see me,
If you see me, if you see me cryin'.
If you see me, if you see me,
If you see me, if you see me cryin'.
Chorus 3
She's gone, (she's gone),
She's gone, (she's gone), she's gone, yeah!
Oh, mocking bird have you, ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird have you, ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
