[Verse 1]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle'a whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?

[Chorus 1]
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
I know you're gonna miss me when I’m gone

[Verse 2]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers
But it surе would be prettier with you

[Chorus 2]
Whеn 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're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
