Long Gone Out West Blues

Going out west for the mountain breeze
The high still plains are killing me
Where the wild still roam and the trees grow high
It’s a long gone out west blues

Can’t you hear that lonesome cry
That left my house many days gone by
Oh my darling’s gone though she did not die
It’s a long gone out west blues, long gone out west blues

I hear them say there’s a better west
Full of milk and rain and all that’s left
Here no one to find though I search and moan
It’s a long gone out west bluеs

I’ll ride til my horse can ride no morе
Then I’ll trade my ride for an acre square
But the lot I’d trade for a loving kind
It’s a long gone out west blues, long gone out west blues

No more lonesome and I’ll be home
Though in years before I was alone
And the trees mean greener pastures now
It’s a long gone out west blues

Going out west for the mountain breeze
The high still plains are killing me
Where the wild still roam and the trees grow high
It’s a long gone out west blues, long gone out west blues
