Del Reeves - Dead and Gone lyrics

Where are the flowers that bloomed 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 wet my throat Everyone hurt me when I made the oath If I couldn't have her then I'd see them both Dead and gone dead and gone Lifeness and still on the ground there they lay What cruel fate make me found them that day That big old black hearse came and haul 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 what new can I tell Dead and gone dead and gone Dead and gone dead and gone
