I'm gonna leave this lonesome town
I'm gonna change my name to brown
Ain't no use for me hangin' around
My baby done gone

I'm gonna buy me a bottle of wine
Tell those no good friends of mine
That my party starts at nine
My baby done gone

My mama done told me, don't be surprised
A no good woman will tell you lies
Daddy done told me all about it too
That kinda woman boy can't be true
So boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo
My baby done gone

I'm gonna find me a little queen
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
I'm gonna live just like a king
My baby done gone

My mama done told me, don't be surprised
A no good woman will tell you lies
Daddy done told me all about it too
That kinda woman boy can't be true
So boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo
My baby done gone
