Long Gone Blues Poem by Chris Embrick

I can't love nobody when you get me down
I can't love nobody when you get me down
You've been long gone
But the mem'rys still around

You caught me out cattin last Saturday night
You caught me out catiin last Saturday night
Said a cheatin man
Ain't worth a good fight

Found me another woman but she's done gone
Found me another woman but she's done gone
She said she couldn't love a man
Who'd do her wrong

Had to learn my lesson livin here alone
Had to learn my lesson livin here alone
A good woman won't leave
if you keep love home.


Epilogue:

Keep your eyes on the prize
And keep your love at home
Word gets around fast
When you treat a woman wrong.
