WHEN I'M GONE
(c) 1979 by Elizabeth Cotten. Sanga Music


You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my every day talk
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

You're gonna look and I won't be here
You're gonna wish that I was near
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Chorus:
Oh when I'm gone
Oh when I'm gone to come no more
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
You're gonna miss me what I say
You're gonna miss me what I play
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

You're gonna miss me when I shout
You're gonna miss me all about
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

You're gonna miss the songs I play
You're gonna miss me every day
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

One of these mornings bright and fair
Angels coming, gonna sail over there
Friends I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
