When I'm Dead and Gone
Ooh, I love you baby, I love you night and day
When I leave you, baby, don't cry the night away
When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph for two
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave
Ooh, my Melinda, she's out to get my hide
She gotta shotgun and a daughter by her side
Hey there ladies, Johnson's free
Who got the law, who got the love to keep a man like me?
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave
I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
Oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph for two
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave
I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
Woh, when I'm dead, when I'm dead
Oh, when I'm dead and gone
When I leave you, baby, don't cry the night away
When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph for two
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave
Ooh, my Melinda, she's out to get my hide
She gotta shotgun and a daughter by her side
Hey there ladies, Johnson's free
Who got the law, who got the love to keep a man like me?
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave
I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
Oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph for two
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Woh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave
I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na
Woh, when I'm dead, when I'm dead
Oh, when I'm dead and gone
