Will You Miss me? Lyrics
And this heart shall cease to beat
And they lay me down to rest
In some flowery bowery tree
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone
On my poor, unworthy grave
Come and sit along beside me
When the roses nod and wave
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone
When this fleeting life has flown
This sweet thought will cheer when dying
Will you miss me when I'm gone
Plant a kiss upon thy brow
But lie cold and still in death
Will you love me then as now
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone
This is the song that Sara sang over the radio when she was down in Mexico with her ex-husband Pleasant and sister-in-law Maybelle. Her marriage fell apart years earlier, when she fell in love with Coy Bayes, her husband's cousin. Coy left Virginia with his parents and ended up in California. They had no contact for years, until Sara dedicated this song over the radio (a powerful station that was heard all over the country) to Coy Bayes in California. When he heard it, he came and got Sara and they lived in California, pretty much separated from the Pleasant (A.P. Carter), her children, and the rest of the Carter family.
