For years and years I've roamed this wide world over
Now my ramblin' and my roaming days are done
For the only friend I've left is my old dog Rover
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I gone

There ain't gonna miss me when I gone
There ain't gonna miss me when I gone
So won't you write these words upon my tombstone
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

Onece I had a loving mother dear and daddy
Now they're long since gone where angels dwell
They've found eternal life way up in heaven
Where I'll find muy reward no one can tell

* Refrain

I can't forget a little sweetheart I loved dearly
We had planned the day when she would be my own
But also another stole muy darling from me
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

* Refrain
