My Mind Is Gone

my mind is gone

and so is all of my money

One small kiss is all that I wish

for you are sweeter than honey

I have squandered my whole life away

I'm asking you for benediction

See, I'm going down to the river to drown

Now is my time for redemption

There are glorious bounties in heaven above

There are glorious bounties on earth

But when your course fails, and you're lost among the rails

You'll never know what they were worth

There was a young woman I loved her well

She was all my eyes could see

For all I could do, her heart was never true

Still I could not leave her be

I found her in bed with another man

I killed him in his sleep

I was quick with him, but she died only when

she awoke and she began to weep

Whoa senorita my mind is gone

along with all that I treasure

One small kiss is all that I wish

for I'll never again have the pleasure
