Remember Me When I'm Gone

Verse 1

River rolls slow past the bluffs

Where I carved our names in the bark

I left my heart on a hum of an old guitar string

And a whisper of a Memphis dark

Pre-Chorus

If I slip out before the sunrise

Before the porch light fades to gray

Chorus

Remember me when I'm gone

When the music runs cold and still

Say my name by the riverside

And I'll find you in the hill

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm, mm-mm

(Remember me)

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Verse 2

I buried my bones in the delta clay

Where the blues cry low and slow

Every last note that I ever play

Is a seed you already know

Pre-Chorus

If the highway takes me further

I'm leaving one song in the rain

Chorus

Remember me when I'm gone

When the music runs cold and still

Say my name by the riverside

And I'll find you in the hill

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm, mm-mm

(Remember me)

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Bridge

Don't you cry me a cold river

Don't you lock the door

I'll be in the guitar strings

In the strings you're playing more

Chorus

Remember me when I'm gone

When the music runs cold and still

Say my name by the riverside

And I'll find you in the hill

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm, mm-mm

(Remember me)

Mm-mm, mm-mm
