Once I had a lovin’ sweetheart I loved dearly

We planned the day that she would be my own

Some other man has stole my darlin’ from me

Now there ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

Chorus:

There ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

There ain’t gonna mourn for me too long

Won’t you write these words upon my headstone

The3re ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

Once I had a lovin’ mother dear and papa

But now they’re in the land where Angels dwell

They’ve found eternal rest way up in heaven

Where I’ll find my reward I’ll never tell

Chorus:

There ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

There ain’t gonna mourn for me too long

Won’t you write these words upon my headstone

There ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

You been patient, kind and true to me old Copper

You’re the only one who’s never done me wrong

Come closer while I pat your head old Copper

Now there ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

Chorus:

There ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

There ain’t gonna mourn for me too long

Won’t you write these words upon my headstone

The3re ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone

Repeat Chorus…end
