WHEN I’M GOOD AND GONE
[Verse]
I hope they fDind my King James ABible
GWorn around the edges and oDpened to the Book of JAohn
And my favorite pDicture we made tAogether
Down by Mill CGreek when we were just tAwenty-one
[Verse]
I hope it’s lGayin’ by your old love lAetters
The ones that rDead just like a song
I hope they Emfind more good than Abad
When I’m good and gDone
[Verse]
I hope our Dchildren will make good Aneighbors
The kind you can Gcount on when you’re DdownA  
And I hope they’ll Dteach their sons and Adaughters
The things I Gtaught ‘em when I’m not aAround
[Verse]
I hope the sGun shines the day they Alay meD  
And tGhere’s lots of flowers and that line of friends is long
‘Cause they fEmound more good than bAad
When I’m good and goDne
[Verse]
I ain’t Emleavin’ here today as far as AI can see
I got a Bmlist of things I Aplan on gettin’ Gto
Oh, but Emhow and when I leave this world ain’t Aup to me
Oh, LBmord You’ll make that cAall and when You Gdo
[Verse]
I hope You Emfind more good than Abad
When I’m good and BmgonGe
I hope You Emfind more good than Abad
And I hope they Dfind my King James BiAble
Worn around the eGdges and opened to the Book of JDohn
