Woody Guthrie - Will You Miss Me? Lyrics




Send Will You Miss Me? Ringtone to your Cell

When death'll close my eyelids
And my race on earth is run
Will you miss me when I'm gone?

[Chorus:]
Will you miss me (miss me miss me miss me)
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

Come and set yourself beside me
Come and set beside my bed
Lay your hand upon my brow
While my achin' hearth grows dead

[Chorus 2x]

Will You Miss Me? Comments
This is Woody's shorter version of "Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone" known by the Carter Family. By the changes in the lyrics he created his "own" song out of this.
When did he write it? The ending seems prophetic - because he ended for many years in hospital... Sometimes visitors would hold his hand or sing his songs to him (like a young man named Dylan).
Today we miss him - there are not many people like him any more - at least not in show business...
