Lyrics:

Well I beg you baby, baby so long
Know you're going to miss me, when I'm dead and gone

Well I know she going to miss me, well when I'm dead and gone
I know you going to miss me baby, *oh poor boy will be*

When you hear me singing, mama this old lonesome song
Know you going to miss poor Joe, when I'm dead and gone

Went down to the station, went out on the track
Saw my baby leaving, couldn't call her back

Well I know that woman going to miss me, well when I'm dead and gone
I know you going to miss me baby, count the days I'm gone

Cried last night baby, all night before
Stop my way of living, and I won't have to cry no more

When I get down and out, sing this lonesome song
Swear you going to miss me woman, when I'm dead and gone

Cried last night mama, cried all night before
Going back home to my baby, won't have to cry no more
