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 goneAbout This Song
