Ooh I love you baby, I love you night and day
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

Ooh, Mama Linda, she's out to get my hide
She got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
Hey there, ladies, Johnson's free
Who got the law, who 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

I said wo-nah-nah
Wo-nah-nah
Wo-nah-nah
Wo-nah-nah

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

I said wo-nah-nah
Wo-nah-nah

Wohowow, when I'm dead, when I'm dead
Wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
