The great "Gone" is by Ferlin Husky


Now THAT.. is perhaps one of the finest songs of forlorn lost love ever recorded. He sings it with such pain in his voice. Ahh.. Ferlin Husky. One of my faves. Any Mudcatters in southern California long to sing duets of songs like that with me? PM me. I have nobody to play music with. The locals I know all Filk instead of Folk.

GONE
Ferlin Husky


Since you've gone
the moon,
the sun,
the stars in the sky
know the reason why I cry
Love divine
once was mine;
now you've gone.

Since you've gone
my heart,
my lips,
my tear-dimmed eyes,
a lonely soul within me cries.
I acted smart,
broke your heart;
now you've gone.

Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted.
The love that I've tasted.
I was wrong;
now you've gone

Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted.
The love that I've tasted.
I was wrong;
now you've gone
