You're gonna miss me

I was born in a post-romantic age I was born in a post-romantic age I don’t paint or compose I was born in a post-romantic age I was born in a post-romantic age I don’t paint or compose Two things I don’t do no more I was born in a post romantic age I used to be a big old coal steel rail I used to be a big old coal steel rail I’d paint the sky all thick and black Rolling thunder on down the track I used to be a big old coal steel rail You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re Gonna miss the way I said your name You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone I’d buy you a coat and a new red hat Buy you a coat and a new red hat I’d put you in the finest cars With all the men who smoke cigars I’d buy you a coat and a new red hat High-class lady so debonair High-class lady so debonair All the ones I’ve never met And all the ones who ain’t gone yet High-class lady so debonair You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re Gonna miss the way I said your name You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes There’s a hole down in my soul That couldn’t be filled by a thousand more Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re Gonna miss the way I sang your song You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
