My woman is gone (woman is gone),
My woman is gone (woman is gone).
She had left me a note hanging on my door
She say she couldn't take it she couldn't take any more.
The pressure around me - just couldn't see
She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free.
Fools have tried, yeah - wisemen have failed
Listen to me, honey life could never be another jail.
Still we know now: we'll never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see has a heart desire.
She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone),
She's gone (she's gone), she's gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
She made it through the exit (she just couldn't take it)
She made it through the exit she just couldn't make it
And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin'
My woman is gone.
If you see me if you see me if you see me
If you see me cryin'
If you see me if you see me if you see me
If you see me cryin'
She's gone -she's gone, she's gone she's gone
She's gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
