Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone
Another night when the cold wind moans
With your long black veil, crying over my bones
On your face was a beauty deep
That the grand brush of time just could not sweep
Those laughing eyes like a river ran
From the heart of Richmond to the holy land
You're going far down the road
And these tears must be shed
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm
For to return here again
For to return here again
In this wild and wicked place
Sorrows and fears we can't escape
Clench not with her won't you wait for me
Bowing evening is the willow tree
You're going far down the road
And these tears must be shed
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm
For to return here again
For to return here again
Whisper to me when I'm coming back home
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone
Another night when the cold wind moans
With your long black veil, crying over my bones
