My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is gone).
She had Ieft me a note hanging on my door:
She say she couIdn ’t take it, she couIdn ’t take any more.
The pressure around me – just couIdn ’t see;
She feIt Iike a prisoner who needs to be free.
FooIs have tried, yeah – wisemen have faiIed:
Oh, Iisten to me, honey: Iife couId never be another jaiI.
StiII we know now: we ’II never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see has a heart desire.
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?
She made it through the exit (she just couIdn ’t take it);
She made it through the exit (she just couIdn ’t make it).

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 ’:
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?

Words that I never heard?
She ’s gone (she ’s gone), she ’s gone (she ’s gone), she ’s gone
