Tommy Coon duet, "Gone, Gone, Gone,"
Sung by Collins & Harlan, Edison Records
Of all the swell coons in this land
Sam Jones is 'bout the best of all
He promised to give his heart and hand
To a sweet brown gal this very next fall
He bought her rings and lots of things
And swell fried chicken each night he'd bring
But strange to say she left one day
Understood Sam's sittin', this is all he'll say
Oh, she's gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
Oh yes, she's gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
There's a good old adage but still it's true
The more you do for people, why, the less they think of you
I loved that gal with all my life
And I certainly thought she was to be my wife
But she left the town and she threw me down
And she's gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
Sam says, "I'm goin' for to advertise
For this maiden who has broke my heart
She spent my wealth and spoiled my health
I'll tell you folks, 'twas hard to part
I'd give every dollar that I possess
I'd even buy her a brand new dress
My love for her I would confess
But as things stand now, I'm in an awful mess"
Oh, she's gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
Oh yes, she's gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
There's a good old adage but still it's true
The more you do for people, why, the less they think of you
I loved that gal with all my life
And I certainly thought she was to be my wife
But she left the town and she threw me down
And she's gone (gone), gone (gone), gone
