You Were Gone:Big John Khatt and The Highland
Blues Band..Live in Germany, 1972.
INTRO:
#1.
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy..
laying around with nothin to do.
When you went away, you took my cow Bessie..
I miss her darling, more than I miss you.
#2.
You took off your leg, your wig and your glass eye..
and you should ve seen the look on my face.
I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you..
but you were scattered all over the place.
CHORUS:
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over, and thought I found
true love.
You met another and Phht! you were gone.
#3.
I know that you loved me, here s my way of knowing.
The proof s hanging out right there on the line.
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing..
your nightie s hugging them long johns of mine.
#4.
The noises you made at our supper table..
your habits, my dear, were surely absurd.
But how many times do I have to tell you..
soup is a dish to be seen and not heard.
CHORUS:
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over, and thought I found
true love.
You met another and Phht! you were gone.
#5.
Remember you phoned me, a-sobbin and cryin ..
the dog bit your ma, and drug her around.
You said she looked pale and thought she was dying..
I said, Don t worry, I ll buy a new hound.
#6.
I had six kids and you had eleven..and we had
a boy, and they grew like flowers.
I wish you d come back, without you ain t Heaven..
cause your kids and my kids are beatin up ours.
CHORUS:
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over, and thought I found
true love.
You met another and Phht! you were gone.
OUTRO:
I searched the world over, and thought I found
true love.
You met another and Phht! you..were..gone.
