Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional
Played by Jerry Garcia with the Black Mountain Boys in March 1964. Thanks to Matt Schofield for the lyrics.
I often sing for those I love
Who go to live with Christ above
No more on earth their forms I'll see
When I am gone, who'll sing for me
Who'll sing for me when I am gone
As I so oft for friends have done
And it won't be long 'til home I'll see
When I am gone, who'll sing for me
The time to go is drawing nigh
'Til I too must say goodbye
Just over there with Christ I'll be
Get all my friends to sing for me
Who'll sing for me when I am gone
As I so oft for friends have done
And it won't be long 'til home I'll see
When I am gone, who'll sing for me
