Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone, long gone
Let me tell you that he’s far, far away
But I think about him every day
In my dreams at night, I see his face
Ain’t no other guy gonna take his place
I just kiss his letter
And I feel better
He’s been gone for such a long, long time
But you know I’m sure that he’s still mine
Though the things people say are hurting me
They’re trying to make me think he’s deserting me
I just kiss his letter
And I feel better
Whoa whoa whoa-oa-oa-oa
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone, long gone
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone, long gone
I got a letter from him just this afternoon
Telling me that he’ll be coming soon
Whenever I’m down and feeling bad,
Whenever my heart is feeling sad,
I just kiss his letter
And I feel better
Whoa whoa whoa-oa-oa-oa
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
(repeat and fade out)
