I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your sweet lovin' woman rolling in your arms.

Well the Sun gonna shine round my back door someday.
I said the Sun gonna shine round my back door someday.
And the wind from the rivers gonna blow my blues away.

It takes a red-headed man to make a long-time woman feel bad
It takes a red-headed man to make a long-time woman feel bad
Oh it makes me remember 'bout that long slow rollin' I had

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your sweet lovin' woman rolling in your arms.
