PHFFT YOU WERE GONE
Written by: SUSAN HEATHER

Where, oh, where, where would I be?
Without my Jesus comforting me
For I'll sing his praises as I travel on
Today, tomorrow, till phfft! you are gone.

Take money or God, you can't serve two masters
For you will love one, the other you'll hate
And that is the cause of this world's disasters
Make up your mind now, before it's too late.

We don't break God's laws, but we break against them
Remember this friends, as life moves along
Can't you hear the voice of youth out there asking?
"Why do you do what you tell us is wrong?"

CHORUS

Each time that you give, don't get up and shout it
For He always knows what good deeds you do
You'll get your reward, there's no doubt about it
He sees in secret and He will pay you.

CHORUS

PHFFT YOU WERE GONE
Original written by: SUSAN HEATHER
A version was recorded by: Archie Campbell

Where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and thought I'd find true love
You met another and phfft you were gone.

I miss you so much, the 'taters need diggin'
The corn in the field, it needs pickin' now
How well I recall the first time I saw you
You looked so pretty a-pullin' the plow.

CHORUS

Your lips were as red as ripe boysenberries
Your ears were as big as sails in the breeze
Your two eyes bugged out like old pop-eyed mullets
Your hair, like hay-wire, hung down to you knees.

CHORUS

I thought my love was all that you wanted
I still can't believe my gold made you fall
I thought you would leave the hogs in the pigpen
I was mistaken, for you took them all.

CHORUS

I saw your buck teeth and that struck me funny
I'm sorry to say, I wanted to laugh
You told me the truth, you tooth cost you money
You said it cost a buck and a half.

CHORUS
