Buck Owens
PFFT You Were Gone
[Verse 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, darlin', more than I miss you

[Verse 2]
You took off your leg, your wig and your eye glass
And you shoud have 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 [Raspberry] you were gone

[Verse 3]
I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing
The proofs hanging out right there on the line
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing
Your nighties hugging them long Johns of mine

[Verse 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 [Raspberry] you were gone

[Verse 5]
Remember you phoned me, a-sobbin' and cryin'
The dog bit your maw 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"

[Verse 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 [Raspberry] you were gone

[Outro]
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
You met another and [Raspberry] you were gone
