when I leave you baby, don't cry the night away
when I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe, I want to leave no epitaph for two

wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to morn beside my grave - yeah

ooh, Mama Linda, she's out to get my eye
she's got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
hey there, ladies, Johnson?s free
who's got the law, who's got the love to keep a man like me

wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna leave some happy woman living on
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to morn beside my grave - yeah

wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna leave some happy woman living on
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to morn beside my grave - yeah

when I?m dead and gone
