[Intro]
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Heaven knows I've had one hell of a run
Left nothing unsaid and nothing undone
Sing me away with a song
But don't cry for me
When I'm go-o-one
When I'm gone
When I'm go-o-one
When I'm gone
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I've seen the sunset in South Arizona
Soaked up the Opry's spotlight
I've held the heart of a good-hearted woman
And the hand of my dad when he died
[Chorus]
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Heaven knows I've had one hell of a run
Left nothing unsaid and nothing undone
Sing me away with a song
But don't cry for me
When I'm go-o-one
When I'm gone
When I'm go-o-one
When I'm gone
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I've had the chance
To take a few chances
Make a few stand-by-me friends
And I've heard three kids callin' me "daddy"
And I know where I'm goin'
When my road ends
[Chorus]
So, don't cry for me when I'm gone
Heaven knows I've had one hell of a run
Left nothing unsaid and nothing undone
Sing me away with a song
But don't cry for me
When I'm go-o-one
When I'm gone
When I'm go-o-one
When I'm gone
[Bridge]
Just raise up a cold one
And have a few laughs
Remember the good times we had
[Chorus]
But don't cry for me when I'm gone
No, don't cry for me when I'm gone
Remember the dash on my stone
But don't cry for me
No, don't cry for me
[Outro]
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
No, don't cry for me when I'm gone
No, don't cry for me when I'm gone
