I'm all alone, (cos) my baby's gone, a thousand miles away
She's on her own, to parts unknown, and why I couldn't say
(She) Put on her traveling coat, she didn't even write me a note
My baby's gone, a thousand miles away
(It's the) same old song, this bird has flown, a thousand miles away
You know she left me so depressed, my heart's in disarray
I asked everybody I know, to clue me in to where she would go,
They said, Your baby's gone a thousand miles away
(There's no) way I could forget her, so I'm writing her a letter,
And my love I will confess.
(I'd beg her) please come home to stay, and I would mail it right away,
But I don't have her address!
My baby's gone, she's rolling right along, a thousand miles away
I guess that I can't tell you why, but I know she's gone astray
She didn't even leave me a clue, and now I'm feeling blue,
My baby's gone, a thousand miles away
She's on the run, she just moved on, a thousand miles away
And so it's done, I'm on my own, (I've) got nothing more to say
That's the end of the day, the sun is fading away,
Cos my baby's gone, a thousand miles,
My baby's gone a thousand miles,
My baby's gone a thousand miles away.
