Gone so long, baby why'd you do me wrong?
Gone so long, baby why'd you do me wrong?
I've been down before but this heartache goes on and on
When you left me, woman—went off on a drinkin' jag
When you left me, woman—went off on a drinkin' jag
Nosin' around like a ruttin' mule deer stag
Been hangin' out with ripple, kickin' back with Mary Jane
Been hangin' out with ripple, kickin' back with Mary Jane
Gone so long blues, got me trying to numb the pain
Gone so long, baby why'd you do me wrong?
Gone so long, baby why'd you do me wrong?
I love you, baby, but I sure ain't gonna be your dog
