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

Lifeless 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
