When I'M Gone

When I'm gone
And all things are done
All of you my generals
Don't cry at my funeral

When I'm gone
I will still be the one
That you will still read and read
I might be dead but not my deed

When I'm gone
And i am all alone
Don't say of my ills
Pay my outstanding bills

When i'm gone
And with me there's none
Your blessings and prayers I expect
You all must pay me some respect
