I´ve got my ticket for the long way ´round
Two bottles of whisky for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
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 ´round
The one with the prettiest of view´s
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
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 meant to stay too long
And I´m out on my own
But you´ll miss me when you´re home
It´s for you dear why I sing this song

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.
