She's Gone Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            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) -               /fadeout/
