One of these days, you know it won't be long,
you'll look for me and baby I'll be long gone
I'll be down the road
You'll look for me,
but me you won't see
Yeah, one of these days, you know the time is near,
you'll look for me, but baby I won't be here
I'm gonna be long gone
You'll look for me,
but me you won't see
Yeah, one of these days, you're gonna wake up and find,
this lonesome boy has changed his cotton-picking mind
He's gonna be long gone
You'll look for he,
but he you won't see
Long gone!
Long gone!
Long gone!
Long gone!
You'll look for me, and me you won't see
