Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
TheIt's gone away from me
Though I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away for good
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away for good
Someday I'll be over it all
Like I know a good man should
I'm free baby
Free from your spell
I'm free, free baby
Free from your spell
Now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well
Now it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know a good man should
You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

26 years ago, we lost Jerry. Wish that I'd made it to at least one Grisman/Garcia show. Thank you very much for sharing this.
