Dead And Gone
Composer(s): Joe Gibson
Performer(s): Del Reeves



Where are the flowers that bloom in the spring
Where is the song that the birds used to sing
Oh, where is the happiness that they used to bring
Dead and gone, dead and gone

Tall handsome stranger in June wed my troth
Everyone heard me when I made the oath
If I couldn't have her, then I'd see them both
Dead and gone, dead and gone

Lifeless and still on the ground there they lay
What cruel fate made me find them that day
That big old black hearse came and hauled them away
Dead and gone, dead and gone

Soon they will take me away from my cell
Then will my spirit leave this earthly shell
Though God knows I'm innocent, but who can I tell
Dead and gone, dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and gone
