OH, LINDA
Gordon Lightfoot 1966


Oh Linda you done me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing the song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind.

Oh Linda you made me grieve
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky.

Oh gal don't you say goodbye
Now that I need you by my side
Love me now or be on your way
If you go be gone to stay.

I saw Linda late last night
Dressed for town she looked alright
Painted eyes and lips like wine
Walking on down with a friend of mine.

Oh gal don't you say so long
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky.

Oh gal don't you be unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
Love me now or be on your way
If you go be gone to stay.

Oh Linda you made me grieve
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky.

Oh gal don't you say goodbye
Now that I need you by my side
You can have everything I own
Take everything but a come on home.

Oh gal don't you say so long
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky.

Oh gal don't you do me wrong
I'm a gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing the song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind.
