You're Gonna Miss Me Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Frankie and Johnnie were sweethearts 

They had a quarrel one day 

Johnny vowed he would leave her 

He said he was going away 

Never coming home, goin' away to roam 

"My love, Johnny, please stay 

Now, oh, my honey 

I've done you wrong but please don't go away" 

Then Johnny sighed while Frankie cried 

"Oh, I'm a-going away, I'm a-goin' to stay 

Never coming home 

You're gonna miss me, honey 

In the days to come 

When the winter winds begin to blow 

The ground is covered up 

And when you think of the way 

You're gonna wish me back, your lovin' man 

You're gonna miss me, honey 

In the day they says to come" 

Frankie done said to her Johnny 

"Now man your hour done come" 

"Cause from behind her kimono 

She drew her forty-four gun 

"These love affairs are hard to bear" 

Johnny, he fled down the stairway 

"My love, Frankie, don't shoot" 

Frankie done aimed the forty-four 

While the town went rooty-toot-toot 

As Johnny fell, then Frankie yelled 

"Oh, I'm a-going away, I'm a-goin' to stay 

Never coming home 

You're gonna miss me ,honey 

In the days to come 

When the winter winds begin to blow 

The ground is covered up 

And when you think of the way 

You're gonna wish me back, your lovin' man 

You're gonna miss me, honey 

In the day they says to come" 

"Send for your rubber tired hearses 

Send for your rubber tired hacks 

Carry old Johnny to the graveyard 

I've shot him in the back 

With a great big gun as the preacher begun 

Send for some policeman to take me right away 

Lock me down in the dungeon cell 

And throw the key away 

My Johnny's dead because he said 

"Oh, I'm a-going away, I'm a-goin' to stay 

Never coming home 

You're gonna miss me ,honey 

In the days to come 

When the winter winds begin to blow 

The ground is covered up 

And when you think of the way 

You're gonna wish me back, your lovin' man 

You're gonna miss me, honey 

In the day they says to come"
