[Intro :]
4 mesures verres
4 mesures
[Couplet 1]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle of Whisky for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomo rrow, wha-do-ya say '
[Refrain :] (2x)
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
You gonna miss me by my hair
You gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You gonna miss me, when I'm gone
[4 mesures verres]
[Couplet 2 :]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you.
[Refrain :] (3x)
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
You gonna miss me by my walk
You gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You gonna miss me, when I'm gone
