Gone With Another Man
Tammy Wynette · My Man [Epic] [1972]
I don't mind you goin' down to the bar
And talkin' bout the lady's man that you think you are
If you stay out late come home a little too tight
I don't say a word everythin's still all right.
I don't mind you sayin' you're the boss at home
And actin' like you're a king on a golden throne
And braggin' how you got me in the palm of your hand
But if I ever catch you with another girl
Gonna throw a lock on your sweet world
For you know what happened to me
I'll be gone with another man.
Just thought I'd give you a little advice
'Fore you cross that line think twice
'Cause if you do it's gonna be sad
And I'll put hurt like you've never had.
So don't go a lookin' for love like a man that's free
'Cause you got more love than you need right here with me
Cheatin' and lyin' are things I just can't stand
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong
You ain't a gonna have no woman at home
'Fore you know what happened to me
I'll be gone with another man.
So if I ever catch you a doin' me wrong
You ain't a gonna have no woman at home
'Fore you know what happened to me
I'll be gone with another man...
About Gone With Another Man
Tammy Wynette's "Gone With Another Man" stands as a defining anthem of the early 1970s country music era, capturing the raw vulnerability of heartbreak within the traditional honky-tonk style. Released on her album *My Man*, the track exemplifies Wynette's signature ability to blend narrative storytelling with emotional depth, a hallmark that would later cement her status as the "First Lady of Country." The song reflects the turbulent relationship dynamics common in the genre during that period, focusing on the pain of betrayal and the struggle to maintain dignity after a partner leaves. As a cornerstone of Wynette's discography, the recording showcases her powerful vocal delivery and the lush production typical of Epic Records' output in the early Seventies. It remains a significant piece in the catalog of country ballads that explored themes of lost love and resilience, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to articulate the complexities of romantic failure through music.
