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

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 gonna miss me when I'm gone


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.


I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
These feet weren't meant to stay to long

And I'm out on my own
But you'll miss me when your home
Its for you dear why I sing this song


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 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.
