Will You Miss Me - Carter Family

When death shall close these eyelids

And this heart shall cease to beat

And they lay me down to rest

In some flowery bound retreat

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me when I’m gone?

Perhaps you’ll plant a flower

On my poor unworthy grave

Come and sit along beside me

When the roses nod and wave

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me when I’m gone?

One sweet thought my soul shall cherish

When this fleeting life has flown

This sweet thought will cheer when dying

Will you miss me when I’m gone?

When these lips shall never more

Press a kiss upon thy brow

But lie cold and still in death

Will you love me then as now?

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me?

(Miss me when I’m gone)

Will you miss me when I’m gone?
