She's Gone a Wanderin'

She wasn't one to worry, never saw her cry Still she was melancholy, never told me why Now she's gone a wanderin', didn't tell me where Didn't ask where she'd go,the chance is I've been there For I have been a loser in a game of hearts And traveled the byways in unfamiliar parts The road's a common one, we all fight our dragons Some of us stand tall and some pull little wagons She came here from Tulsa, perhaps she's gone back there Or maybe Albuquerque in the desert air Maybe she will come back, there is no way to know Maybe she will stay gone, and down the road I'll go She wasn't one to worry, never saw her cry Still she was melancholy, never told me why Now she's gone a wanderin', didn't tell me where Perhaps I'll wander for awhile, maybe she'll be there 7-27-19
