Verse 1: I got my ticket for the long way round Two bottles of whiskey for the way And I sure would like some sweet company And I'm leaving tomorrow, wha-do-ya say? When I'm gone, When I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my hair You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Verse 2: I've got my ticket for the long way round The one with the prettiest of views It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers But it sure would be prettier with you When I'm gone, When I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my walk You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
