I'm getting old and feeble now, my hair is turning gray My limbs that once were nimble, now they're stiff and won't obey My dancing days are over and my pleasures, they have flown For goodness, not for gracious, love, would you miss me when I'm gone? Oh when I'm gone, you'll miss me, when I'm gone (you'll miss me) Some kind heart will miss me when I'm gone (when I'm gone) When I'm gone, you'll miss me, when I'm gone, you'll miss me Oh, some kind heart will miss me when I'm gone What will you do without me, love, when the wintertime comes on? Who'll throw their arms around you, love, as I have often done? Who'll hug you, caress you, when I, oh love, have flown? You'll know where to find me, love, but you'll miss me when I'm gone Oh when I'm gone, you'll miss me, when I'm gone (you'll miss me) Oh, some kind heart will miss me when I'm gone (when I'm gone) When I'm gone, you'll miss me, when I'm gone, you'll miss me Oh, some kind heart will miss me when I'm gone Who'll fence the little yard in, who'll nurse the pretty flowers? Who'll plant the little garden where we sat for many hours? Our children, they're all married, and left us here alone, and When I'm dead and buried, love, you'll miss me when I'm gone Oh when I'm gone, you'll miss me, when I'm gone (you'll miss me) Some kind heart will miss me when I'm gone (when I'm gone) When I'm gone, you'll miss me, when I'm gone, you'll miss me Oh, some kind heart will miss me when I'm gone
