Lyrics

Once I had a little sweetheart I love dearly We planned the day when she would be my own Another man he stole my darling from me And there ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone
Oh there ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone There ain’t nobody gonna mourn for me too long Oh won’t you write these words upon my tombstone There ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone
I had a loving mother dear and daddy They’ve gone to live where the angels love to dwell They found eternal life up there in Heaven Where I’ll find my reward no one can tell Now you’ve been faithful kind and true to me old Copper You’re the only one that’s never done me wrong I am weeping while I pat your head old Copper For there ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone
