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, miss me, when I'm gone

Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2

Will you miss when I'm gone



Perhaps you'll plant a flower

On my poor unworthy grave

And come sit alone beside me

When the roses nod and wave



Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone

Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2

Will you miss when I'm gone



One sweet thought my soul shall cherish

Till this fleeting life has flown

This sweet thought will cheer when dying

You will miss me when I'm gone



Will you miss, miss me, when I'm gone

Will you miss, miss me, miss me when I'm gone X2

Will you miss when I'm gone
