I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy
I'm a long gone daddy and I'm long gone for you
I used to be a happy-go-lucky guy
Never blue, I didn't know how to cry
But now, if you left me I know how to weep
Because my everlovin' baby is oh-so sweet
I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy and I'm long gone for you

Well you took my hand and you held me tight
And then you loved me with all your might
I looked into your eyes to see
And you looked like a real gone baby to me
Well I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy and I'm long gone for you
I used to say the woman wasn't true
All the girl's done was make a fool out of you
Now I understand why a guy ain't free
When a cute little baby meets a daddy like me
Well I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy, daddy-daddy
I'm a long gone daddy and I'm long gone for you
