She was her daddy's little darlin'. Her mama's only child. They didn't understand at all when. She took to running wild. She left town one day and never said goodbye. Left a hole in daddy's lap and a tear in mama's eye. Where'd we go wrong and now she's gone. She met a boy up in Kentucky. Charlie was his name. Just when he thought he got lucky. She stole his watch and chain. She always kept on movin' and she never wasted time. And they said she left quite a string of broken hearts behind. Woke up alone and now she's gone. Me I wasn't even trying. You could say I was content. She went through my life like lightning. Blew out the other end. I still taste her kisses smell her perfume in the wind. And if I could you know that I would do it all again. She done me wrong and now she's gone
