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

Verse 2:
Ever since the day you left this Earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job

Don't come around, don't come around,
Don't come around no more
