So long baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
Don't ever tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Now, all my friends and relatives
They've been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around
Don't come around no more
Ever since the day you left this earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job
Yeah, ever since the day you left this earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job
Now, a lot of people down here
At the agency been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around

So long baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
So long since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
Don't ever tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
