She was her daddy's little darling
Her mama's only child
They didn't understand at all
When she took to running wild

She left town one day
And never said goodbye
And left a hole in Daddy's lap
And a tear in Mama's eye

Where'd we go wrong?
And now she's gone

She met a boy up in Kentucky
Charlie was his name
Just when he thought he got lucky
She stole his watch and chain

She always kept on moving
And she never wasted time
And they said
She left quite a string of broken hearts behind

Woke up alone
And now she's gone
Me, I wasn't even trying
You could say I was content
She went through my life like lightning
Blew out the other end

Well I still taste her kisses
Smell her perfume in the wind
And if I could
You know that I would do it all again

She done me wrong
And now she's gone
