HE'S GONE GONE GONE
(Harlan Howard)


Norma Jean - 1965


He said if I ever deceived him
He'd be gone before I could count ten
I guess that I didn't believe him
'Cause look at the trouble I'm in

He's gone gone gone, gone gone gone
Crying won't bring him back
The more that I cry, the faster that train flies
The farther on down the track

(Instrumental Break)

I lost every right to be happy
When I lost the heaven I found
He warned me he'd leave and he left me
Before my first tear hit the ground

He's gone gone gone, gone gone gone
Crying won't bring him back
The more that I cry, the faster that train flies
The farther on down the track

(Instrumental Break)

If I only knew where to find him
I'd crawl there on my hands and knees
Each tick of the clock's a reminder
He's one second farther from me

He's gone gone gone, gone gone gone
Crying won't bring him back
The more that I cry, the faster that train flies
The farther on down the track
Farther on down the track
