When I'm Gone - Jackie DeShannon, Jackie De Shannon

I was cold, the wind was blowin'

And I had no place to hide

I had to beg the brakeman for a ride

When a voice I knew came callin'

He said «All the rest have fallen»

But I will not forget you

When I’m gone

No, I will not forget you

When I’m gone

Truer words were never spoken

And vows were never broken

I could never break them if I tried

But my heart has caught the notion

That love receives devotion

Oh, I will not forget you

When I’m gone

I will not forsake you

I won’t be untrue

I will not forget you

When I’m gone

I jumped upon the last train

And caught it on the run

I could never stop that risin' sun

Whoa, you know, I never miss it

You see, I-I can’t afford to risk it

I will not forget you

When I’m gone

I wanna tell you now

Will not forget you

When I’m gone

You know, I wanna, wanna

And I will not forget you

When I’m gone
