I've got my ticket for long way around Two bottles of whiskey for the way And I sure would like some sweet company And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say? When I'm gone, when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my hair You're gonna miss me everywhere oh! You're gonna miss me when I'm gone I've got my ticket for the long way around The one with the prettiest view It's got mountains, it's got rivers It's got sights to give you shivers But it sure would be prettier with you When I'm gone (when I'm gone) When I'm gone (when I'm gone) You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my walk You'll miss me by my talk You're gonna miss me when I'm gone I've got my ticket for the long way 'round These feet weren't built to stay to long And I'll go there on my own, But you'll miss me when you're home It's for you, dear, that I sing this song When I'm gone (when I'm gone) When I'm gone (when I'm gone) You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my hair You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm gone When I'm gone When I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my walk You'll miss me by my talk You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
