I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottles of whisky for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company

And, I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?

When I'm gone, When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my hair

You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
you're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone


(*2 cups)



I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of view's


It's got mountains
it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers

But it sure would be prettier with you

When I'm gone, When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my walk

You'll miss me by my talk,
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.


When I'm gone, When I'm gone,
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone,


You're gonna miss me by my walk
You'll miss me by my talk,
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
