You're Gonna Miss Me

(アルバム： Goin' Places - 1961)

Frankie and Johnnie were sweet hearts. They had a quarrel one day. Johnny vowed he would leave her
He said he was going away. Never coming home. Going away to roam

"My love, Johnny, please stay. Now, oh, my honey, I've done you wrong but please don't go away"
Then Johnny sighed while Frankie cried

"Oh, I'm a-going away. I'm a-going to stay. Never coming home
You're gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the winter winds begin to blow, the ground is covered up
And when you think of the way, you're gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me, honey, in the day they say's to come"

Frankie done said to her Johnny, "Now man your hour done come"
Cause from behind her kimono she drew her forty-four gun
"These love affairs are hard to bear!"
Johnny, he fled down the stairway. "My love, Frankie, don't shoot!" Frankie done aimed the forty-four
While the town went rooty-toot-toot. As Johnny fell, then Frankie yelled

"Oh, I'm a-going away. I'm a-going to stay. Never coming home
You're gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the winter winds begin to blow, the ground is covered up
And when you think of the way, you're gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me, honey, in the day they say's to come"

"Send for your rubber tired hearses. Send for your rubber tired hacks
Carry old Johnny to the graveyard, I've shot him in the back
With a great big gun as the preacher begun
Send for some policeman to take me right away
Lock me down in the dungeon cell and throw the key away
My Johnny's dead because he said

"Oh, I'm a-going away. I'm a-going to stay. Never coming home
You're gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the winter winds begin to blow, the ground is covered up
And when you think of the way, you're gonna wish me back, your loving man
You're gonna miss me, honey, in the day they say's to come"
