From the recording A Day Late and a Dollar Short
Lyrics
She is Gone
Well it was three in the morning
The rain was a falling down
Yes it was three in the morning
And the rain was a falling down
I reached for Roberta
But she was nowhere around.
She is gone
She is gone
She is gone
She is gone
I found her down at the station
Waiting for a train
I found her down at the station
Waiting for a train
She said she couldn’t stand me
She found herself a brand new man
Chorus
I didn’t mean to hurt her
I only tried to drag her back
No no I didn’t want to hurt her
I only tried to drag her back
But as the train pulled in the station
She slipped and fell down onto the track
Chorus
Well the police took me
And they carried me to the jail
Well the police took me
And they carried me to the jail
Just before they hang me
I had to tell this tale
Chorus
