[refrein] She’s long gone, and now I’m lonesome blue [Verse 1] Well I had me a woman who couldn’t be true Ze maakte me voor mijn geld en ze maakte me blauw A man needs a woman that he can lean on But my leanin’ post is done left me and gone [refrein] She’s long gone, and now I’m lonesome blue [Verse 2] Since my baby done left me nothing turns out right I can stand the days but oh the lonesome nights She left me last Sunday about a quarter ’til nine She’s a long gone baby of mine [refrein] She’s long gone, and now I’m lonesome blue [Vers 3] I’m gonna find me a river that’s as cold as ice Als ik de rivier vind, Heer, zal ik de prijs betalen Ik ga deze wereld van ellende achter me laten Ik zal lang weg zijn net als die baby van mij [refrein] She’s long gone, and now I’m lonesome blue [Vers 4] Well she told me on Sunday she was checkin’ me out Long about Monday she was nowhere about Nowhere it is Tuesday, ain’t had no news I got them gone but not forgotten blues [Chorus] She’s long gone, and now I’m lonesome blue
