You`re Gonna Miss Me — текст песни (Kingston Trio)

Mike Seeger/Tom Paley/John Cohen/Dave Guard

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. Goin` 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.

Chorus:
"Oh, I`m a-going away. I`m a-goin` 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 lovin` 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,

(Chorus)

"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.

(Chorus)
