Nigel Olsson - When I'm Dead An' Gone

Copied!

Oh I love you baby
I love you night and day
When I leave you
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 your epitaph of doom

Oh, oh, oh, oh when I'm dead an’ gone
I wanna leave some happy woman livin' on
Oh, oh, oh, oh when I'm dead an' gone
I don't want nobody to mourn
Beside my bed

Oh my Belinda she's out to get my hide
She's got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
Hey there ladies, just to speak
Who's got the love?
Who’s got enough
To keep a man like me?

Oh, oh, oh, oh when I’m dead an' gone
I wanna leave some happy woman livin’ on
Oh, oh, oh, oh when I'm dead an' gone
I don't want nobody to mourn
Beside my bed

Oh, oh, oh, oh when I’m dead an' gone
I don't want nobody to mourn
Beside my bed
Oh, oh, oh, oh when I'm dead an' gone
I don't want nobody to mourn
Beside my bed

Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
When I'm dead and gone
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
When I'm dead and gone
