Chorus
So long, baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
Verse 1
Don't ever tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Now, all my friends and relatives, they've been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around,
Don't come around no more
Each of the repeated riffs above correspond
to the three beats of the "don't come around" lyrics.
Verse 2
Ever since the day you left this Earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job
Yeah, ever since the day you left this Earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job
A lot of people down at the agency been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around,
Don't come around no more
Chorus
So long, baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
So long, baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
