Oh, 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
Whoa, when I'm dead and gone
I want to leave some happy woman livin' on
Whoa, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn above my grave
Old Mama Linda, she's out to get my hide
She's got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
Well, hey there, ladies, Johnson's free
Who's got the love, who's got enough to keep a man like me
Whoa, when I'm dead and gone
I want to leave some happy woman livin' on
Whoa, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to mourn above my grave
