Long Gone - written by Don Reno & Red Smiley

 

    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 darlin
I'll be 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

Please don't try to overtake me
what I reid will be too fast
this is it I'm free forever
I'm long gone & free at last

Long Gone - Lonesome River band version

    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
Oh I'm giving up my darling
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 gone, I'm free at last

Please don't shed no tears at parting
For your tears will not atone
After all the pain you cause me
I'm gone, long gone
