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 want to leave no epitaph for two [Chorus] Whoa, when I'm dead and gone I want to leave some happy woman living on Whoa, when I'm dead and gone I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave Oh, 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? [Chorus] I said, 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 [Chorus] I said, oh na'n'na na, oh na'n'na na Whoa, when I'm dead, when I'm dead Oh, when I'm dead and gone
