The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oooo I love you baby
I love you night and day
When I leave you girl
Don’t cry the night away
When I die don’t you write no words upon my tomb
I don’t believe I want to leave no epitaph for two
Oh-oh, when I’m dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman livin’ on
Oh-oh, when I’m dead and gone
I don’t want nobody to mourn beside my bed
Oh - oh Mama Linda
She’s out to get my hide
She’s got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
Hey there ladies, I don’t come free
Who’s got the love, who’s got enough
To keep a man like me
Oh-oh, when I’m dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman livin’ on
Oh-oh when I’m dead and gone
I don’t want nobody to mourn beside my bed
Oh-oh, when I’m dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman livin’ on
Oh-oh, when I’m dead and gone
I don’t want nobody to mourn beside my bed
Oh-ooo la la la, yeah-ooo la la la, oh-ooo la la la, yeah-ooo la la la
Oh-ooo la la la, yeah-ooo la la la, oh-ooo la la la, yeah-ooo la la la
Oh-ooo la la la, yeah-ooo la la la, oh-ooo la la la, yeah-ooo la la la …
