When I'm gone don't

bring me pretty flowers

And don't sit and cry

for me at my tombstone

Come and visit me in the midnight hours

With your party on

Think of me and recall

all the good times

And bring your memories and

a bottle of old Jim Beam

And take a swig as a haunted

honky tonk moon shines

And remember me

Pour whiskey on my grave

Let it seep into my bones

Have a drink with me

Even when I'm gone

I'll do the same for you

If you'll do the same for me

Turn it up and take a shot

Set my spirit free

Don't forget the promise that you made

Pour whiskey on my grave

When my time's up don't

let the good times be gone

Let me still go like I wanted to go

Kicking it up and

drinking with my boots on

With a rebel soul

Pour whiskey on my grave

Let it seep into my bones

Have a drink with me

Even when I'm gone

I'll do the same for you

If you'll do the same for me

Turn it up and take a shot

Set my spirit free

Don't forget the promise that you made

Pour whiskey on my grave

When I'm gone don't

bring me pretty flowers

And don't sit and cry

for me at my tombstone

Come and visit me in the midnight hours

With your party on

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
