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 of doom
Ohohoho, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Ohohoho, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave - yeah
Oh, 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 love,
Who's got enough to keep a man like me?
Ohohoho, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Ohohoho, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave - yeah
[Bridge]
Ohohoho, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
Ohohoho, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave - yeah
Ooh lalala, ooh lalala, ooh lalala, ooh lalala
Ooh lalala, ooh lalala, ooh lalala, ooh lalala...
