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: Oh, 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? She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone)
