My woman she's gone, my woman she's gone
She had left me a note hanging on my door
She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more

The pressure around me, just couldn't see
She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free
Fools have tried, yeah, wisemen have failed
So listen to me, honey, life could never be another jail
Still we know now we'll never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see got a heart desire

She's gone (she's gone) she's gone (she's gone)
she's gone (she's gone) she's gone, ye-ah
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?

She made it through the exit, she just couldn't take it
She made it through the exit, she just couldn't make it
Oh, my children, if you see me cryin'
My woman is gone.

If you see me, if you see me, if you see me
if you see me cryin'
If you see me, if you see me, if you see me
if you see me cryin'

She's gone (she's gone) she's gone (she's gone) she's gone, ye-ah
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard

She's gone (she's gone) she's gone (she's gone) she's gone, ye-ah
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard
Words that I never heard
