She’s gone, yes she’s gone 

She’s gone, solid gone 



Ah, the girl’s a valentine, she’s fine 

Her eyes are green and her hair is brown 

Ah, that’s a genuine woman that ain’t on hand in town 



Well now, just as soon as I see her I’m gonna say 

“Get your fine self right home!” 

And then just one more thing I’ve gotta know 

What in the world did I do to make the woman go? 



She’s gone, yes she’s gone 

She’s gone, solid gone 



Now she might be in Chicago, 

I thought I saw her down in Tennessee 

I traveled round the world to bring my baby on home to me 



She’s gone, yes she’s gone 

She’s gone, solid gone 



And now some people just call her sugar 

Although her real name is Nancy Joe 

She’s the only gal for me 

I’m going to be her steady boy 



Ah, just as soon as I see her 

I’m gonna say “you better get it on home today” 

Just one thing I need to know 

What in the world did I do to make the woman go? 



She’s gone, yes she’s gone 

She’s gone, solid gone 



Well now she might be in Chicago 

I thought I saw her down in Tennessee 

I traveled round the world to bring my baby on home to me
