Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss your daddy rollin' in your arms
Well, the sun's gonna shine on my back door some day
I said, "The sun's gonna shine on my back door some day"
Then the wind from the river's gonna blow all my troubles away
Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss your daddy rollin' in your arms
Well, I ain't got a nickel, no, I ain't got a lousy dime
Well, I ain't got a nickel, no, I ain't got a lousy dime
But I got a long way to go 'fore the end of my time
It takes a hard hearted woman to make a long time man feel bad
It takes a hard hearted woman to make a long time man feel bad
'Cause it makes him remember the long hard road that he's had
Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss your daddy rollin' in your arms
Well, I know you, Rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
