Writer: Don Reno and Red Smiley Artist: Reno & Smiley Album: Bluegrass Is Timeless - Country Boy Rock 'n' Roll Key: Bb 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 darling I'll be gone, long gone 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 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 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 Please don't try to overtake me What I ride will be too fast This is it, we're through forever I'm long gone and free at last 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
