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.
