lyrics

9) My Lady Been Gone
m.litton

O Lord, she left me on a Tuesday
So Wednesday I stared out the window
Thursday I got stoned, Friday I danced with my shadow
Now every night I sleep alone

Chorus: ‘Cause lately my lady been gone
O yeah, lately my good gal been gone
She only left last Tuesday mornin’
Still it seems it’s been so goddamn long

Hey listen to it blow
Listen to that ol’ north wind blow
It makes me sad ‘n lonely
Wish my lady’d come runnin’ on back home

Say now, ever see a little moth dive into the flames
He don’t wanna crash ‘n burn
He simply dies to ease the pain

Well Saturday it rained ‘n rained
Yeah, Saturday it rained and it rained
The sky felt gray ‘n cold
Just like the iron on an ‘ol freight train

So I drink that whiskey for my sleep
Drink alotta “Early Times” for my sleep
Now that my life is an empty dream
All I do is lay awake all night ‘n weep

Hey now, ever hear a little dog
Lost or gone astray
Ain’t no one gonna take him home
So he points his nose to the moon ‘n bays

Yeah, Wednesday I stared out the window
Thursday I got stoned, Friday I danced with my shadow
Now every night I sleep alone
(chorus)

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
