Because of the similarity of the titles, I figure this is a good place to post these lyrics:


AIN'T NOBODY GONNA MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE
As recorded by Earl Taylor & Jim McCall with the Stoney Mountain Boys on "20 Bluegrass Favorites"

CHORUS: There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone.
There ain't nobody gonna mourn for me too long.
Won't you write these words upon my headstone:
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone.

1. Once I had a little sweetheart I loved dearly.
We planned the day that she would be my own.
Some other man's done took my darlin' from me.
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone.

2. Once I had a lovin' mother dear and daddy.
Now they're in the land where the angels dwell.
They fin'lly turned to life way up in heaven.
Where I'll find my reward, no one can tell.

3. You been patient, kind and true to me, old Rover.
You're the only friend that's never done me wrong.
Come closer while I pat your head, old Rover.
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone.

[Several other artists have recorded songs with this title; I haven't listened to all of them. ]
