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
