Now Shes Gone

walk down
She was her daddy's little darlin'
Her mama's only child
They didn't understand at all when
She took to running wild
She left town one day and never said goodbye
Left a hole in Daddy's lap a tear in mama's eye
Where'd we go wrong, now she's gone
She met aboy up in Kentucky
Charlie was his name
Just when he thought he got lucky
She stole his watch and chain
She always kept on moving and she never wasted time
And they say she left quite a string of broken hearts behind
Woke up alone, now she's gone
Me, I wasn't even trying
You could say I was content
She went through my life like lightning
Blew out the other end
I still taste her kisses smell her perfume in the wind
And if I could you now that I would do it all again
She done me wrong, Now she's gone
