When I'm Dead And Gone

when i'm dead,don't stay a widow
go find yourself,a handsome fellow
there's too much beauty,in the moonglow
to waste it away alone,in sorrow

when i'm dead,don't waste the years
find a smile,behind,all those tears
get your heart into,higher gear
your bright new life awaits you,my dear

When i'm dead and gone,our love steady runs
But don't let it steal away tomorrow's dawn
Leave the past behind go have some fun
When i'm dead and gone,dead and gone

when i'm dead,start your new chapter
find something new,to go chase after
your pretty eyes deserve,some laughter
let your precious heart,embrace the rapture

When i'm dead and gone,dead and gone

Cool song, Mike and welcome to the site. That dobro sounds beautiful and works great with the fiddle.

Great song Mike, welcome to the site! I love the lyrics to this song and the Dobro is absolutely brilliant here. Lovely track

[AndyR]

Oh yes - very cool track.
Loving that dobro.

[Greeny]

Love the sound of that slide Dobro. And the melancholy sweetness of the fiddle interludes. A great, atmospheric song and performance. Cool!

[Redler]

So great songwriting and performance. Dobro sounds so good!

The fiddle additions are icing on the cake. Welcome to the site, Mike!

[maxit]

ciao Mike, I'm glad you're here! Cool song!

[Zoltan]

Great songwriting! I love the lyrics and the vocal sound is spot on. The dobro sounds fine and i enjoyed the addition of the fiddle.

There's a hint of Townes Van Zandt to this song yet my brain is also hearing this working great as a later era "Johnny Cash" acoustic type of performance. That's a mark of great songwriting. Being able to make songs that could be interpreted in different ways / styles.
