Now if you don't want me honey you don't have to stall

My love is not a plaything you will find

Now that you have nothin' with my back against the wall

Honey won't you please make up your mind

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You'll feel so blue and all alone yes you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[ fiddle - dobro ]Now where were you when I called you on the phone

And your mama said that you were not around

While I was sittin' at home all alone you're walkin' the dog all over town



You're gonna miss me...

[ banjo - harmonica ]Now don't you remember when you was my honeybee

And you buzzed around the sugar all night long

Now your cheatin' heart is gonna got the best of me

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me...

You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone
