Long gone is how I'm leaving
Long gone why do you cry
This is what you wanted baby
So I'm gone long gone

I have tried to make you happy
still you say I've done you wrong
so I'm giving up my darlin
I'll be gone long gone

Just a few short words of parting
don't shed no tears they won't atone
for my things are packed to travel
I'll be gone long gone

Please don't try to overtake me
what I reid will be too fast
this is it I'm free forever
I'm long gone & free at last
