When I'm Dead and Gone

Oh, 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 wanna leave no epitaph of doom

Oh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Oh, when I'm dead and gone
I Don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave

Old Mama Linda, she's out to get my hide
She's got a shotgun and her daughter by her side
Hey, there, lady, John son's free
Who got the love, who got enough to keep a man like me

Oh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Oh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave

Oh, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Oh, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave

Ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, yeah, yeah
Ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
