Lyrics

When I'm gone
You'll know what to do
You of all will know exactly where I am
You'll blow me kisses
I'll blow them back to you
Child please don't be sad and

Don't be mad at mama
Please tell me you will sing
Somewhere between church and babies
She lost her capacity for me
Child please

When I'm gone
Place my slippers just so
Cause I will stand up straight again
You'll blow me kisses
I'll blow them back to you
Child don't be disappointed
In all these men and

Don't be mad at mama
Please tell me you will sing
Let her walk up and down the aisles
Child please listen to me

Think of me I'm in the shade on a sunny day
Think of me I got the radio up real loud
I know I said when I was gone I would not want to talk...
But a man can change his mind
A real man can
A man can change his mind

Don't be mad at mama
Please tell me you will sing
Somewhere between church and babies
She lost her capacity for me
Don't be mad at mama
Please tell me you will sing
Let her walk up and down the aisles
Child please listen to me
Listen to me

When I'm gone
You'll know what to do
You of all will know exactly where I am
