She's not here no more, no more, this used to be her easy chair
This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
But the chair looks uneasy without her sitting there
She don't live here no more, no more
I go to work in rough dried shirts I can't call on my break
This used to be the yard where Johnnie used to play
Let me talk to you for a minute now
This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
Now and then her friends drop in, it takes my breath away
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
But she's not here no more, no
She never left before, before
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
When I have to say, she don't live here no more, no more
This used to be the bed where Johnnie used to lay
But she's not here no more, no more
I can see it in his eyes, she never left before, before
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
Now and then her friends drop in, it takes my breath away
But she don't live here no more, no more
But she's not here no more, no more
I can't explain just how I feel, I can't believe that it's for real
When I have to say she don't live here no more, no more
This dog of mine seems half alive, he misses her too
Oh, how it hurts to know she won't be home no more, no more
This used to be the home of Johnnie Mae
