GOING GOING GONE

Copyright 2001 by Grant Carrington

[Verses: Alternate 6th & 4th string--E&E, F#&E, G&E, F#&E]


I was tooling down the coast, 'bout quarter to five,
When I met a pretty baby, and she could jive.
I says, "Come on, honey, to my beehive."

A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B7 . . . . . . . E
And we're going, we're going, we're gone.

She says, "All right, Daddy, I'll come along.
But you better not do me any wrong,
Or tomorrow you'll be singing a different song."

And we're going, we're going, we're gone.

Well, we jived that day and all through the night,
And I really did treat that woman right,
But she was gone with the coming of the light.

She was going, she was going; now she's gone.

Well, I never seen that pretty mama before.
Don't think I'm gonna see here anymore.
So I closed my shack; yeah, I shut the door

And I'm going, I'm going; hey, I'm gone.

If you want to record it, however, you will have to cross my palm with silver. My brother-in-law comes from Sicily.
