DEAD IRISH BLUES
Gone
Lyrics
My childhood home is gone
My childhood home is gone
It meant the world to me, my sanctuary
My childhood home is gone

My watering hole is gone
My watering hole is gone
The water done stole my watering hole
My watering hole is gone

The lady next door is gone
The old lady next door is gone
She bounced me on her knee when I was three
The old lady next door is gone

My neighborhood is gone
My neighborhood is gone
Just mud and wood in my neighborhood
My neighborhood is gone

The joy of my life is gone
The joy of my life is gone
Just misery as far as I can see
The joy of my life is gone

Oh Lord why'd you leave me here
Oh Lord why'd you leave me here
You took my loved ones away and left me to stay
Oh Lord why'd you leave me here
