My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is 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:
  Oh, 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 has 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).
  And, 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
  (she's gone)
