Gone Daddy Gone -- Violent Femmes (1983)

Oh yeah, I was there (with my future wife). Dig the xylophone solo.

Beautiful girl, lovely dress
High school smiles, oh yes
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
Where she is now, I can only guess

'Cause it's gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone away

When I see you
Eyes will turn blue
When I see you
Thousand eyes turnin' blue

'Cause it's gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone away

Tell by the way that you switch and walk
I can see by the way that you baby talk
I can know by the way that you treat your man
I can love you baby till it's a cryin'

'Cause it's gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone

Beautiful girl, lovely dress
Fifteen smiles, oh yes
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
Where she is now, I can only guess

'Cause it's gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, gone daddy, gone
The love is gone away

Gone away
Gone away
Gone away
