I
went to the store to get some apple pie
Told my little darlin I'd be back bye and bye
You said you would be waiting
But you know it's a lie
Baby you were gone again
Last
time that you left me you said never again
Said that you'd stand by me through thick and through
thin
Man it didn't to long for the worry to begin
Cause baby you were gone again
Gone
again
Gone again
The last time you left me was with my best friend
Baby you were gone again
What
about that time down in El Cajon
That fellow said you just wouldn't leave him alone
I spent fifty -two dollars trying to reach you on the
phone
Cause baby your were gone again
Gone
again
Gone again
All of these excuses are getting pretty thin
Baby you were gone again
You
stood right beside me on our wedding day
The preacher said "hold on to her,
Don't let her get away"
He must have known something but he just wouldn't say
Cause baby you were gone again
Now
people tell me I am a patient man
I wait around just as much as I can
But that boy in Louisianna was you forty-second man
Baby you were gone again
Gone again
Gone again
Desertion must have been your original sin
Baby you were gone again
