    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
