[Verse 1]
Whoa-oh, when I woke up this morning
She was gone
Solid gone
When I woke up this morning
She was gone
Solid gone, yeah
[Chorus]
I used to love to watch her dance that grizzly bear
I guess she's gone to Frisco, whoa-oh
To dance it there
'Cause when I woke up this morning
Yeah, she was gone
Solid gone
I used to love to watch her dance that grizzly bear
I guess she's gone to Frisco, whoa-oh
To dance it there
'Cause when I woke up this morning
Yeah, she was gone
Solid gone
[Verse 2]

The reason why (reason why)
She was gone (she was gone, bo-do-di-o)
She did not (she did not)
Did not even (did not even)
Did not even tell me (did not even tell me)
She did not tell me (did not)
Tell me why she was gone (tell me why she was gone)
[Chorus]
I used to love to watch her dance that grizzly bear
I guess she's gone to Frisco, whoa-oh
To dance it there
'Cause when I woke up this morning
Yeah, she was gone
Solid gone
Solid gone
Solid gone
