Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone Lyrics - Singles - Carter Family

When death shall close these eye lids 

And this heart shall cease to beat 

And they lay me down to rest 

In some flowery bound retreat 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me when I'm gone? 

Perhaps you'll plant a flower 

On my poor unworthy grave 

Come and sit along beside me 

When the roses nod and wave 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me when I'm gone? 

One sweet thought my soul shall cherish 

When this fleeting life has flown 

This sweet thought will cheer when dying 

Will you miss me when I'm gone? 

When these lips shall never more 

Press a kiss upon thy brow 

But lie cold and still in death 

Will you love me then as now? 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me? 

(Miss me when I'm gone) 

Will you miss me when I'm gone?
