NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
(Adam McNaughtan)

This mornin' when I woke and the bed was empty
And your teeth were missin' oot the glass on the chair
I thought you'd just got up to make the breakfast
And, when I got to the kitchen, you'd be there

Then I f 'und the note you left me in my piece box
Sayin' you wanted to go withoot nae fuss
Well, that's somethin' that you read in the Women's Weekly
It doesnae happen tae the likes 'o us

I blame the whole thing on these stupid stories
Where some doctor gies a nurse's he'rt a tug
But then, how the hell coud ye run away with a butcher
And especially a butcher wi' a name like Shug

You say that Shug's a good man and that I'd like him
That's another line ye got straight oot the book
I hope his pork gets swine vesicular fever
And a' his bloody mince falls off the hook

Well, oor life together hadnae much o' passion
I was used wi' you, I thought you were wi' me
Now you're gone and it hurts me kind o' funny
Like the pain in the space where a bad tooth used tae be

Oh, Agnes, please come back to me, I need ye
I miss your smile, I miss your tears and a'
But mair than that, I'll miss the colour telly
That you took wi' you when you shot the craw
