Dead And Gone Lyrics - Del Reeves

Where are the flowers that bloomed in the spring? 

Where is the song that the birds used to sing? 

Oh, where is the happiness that they used to bring? 

Dead and gone, dead and gone 

Tall handsome stranger in June wet my throat 

Everyone hurt me when I made the oath 

If I couldn't have her then I'd see them both 

Dead and gone, dead and gone 

Lifeless and still on the ground, there they lay 

What cruel fate make me found them that day 

That big old black hearse came and haul them away 

Dead and gone, dead and gone 

Soon they will take me away from my cell 

Then will my spirit leave this earthly shell 

Though God knows I'm innocent, what new can I tell? 

Dead and gone, dead and gone 

Dead and gone, dead and gone
