I'm going to miss you, she said
Three years go by and I have returned
And today they tell me she's dead
My journey began on the day we were wed
I kissed little Mary goodbye
She whispered these words
Goodbye my love, I'll see you around
I'm going to miss you, she said
Three years roll by and I have returned
And today they tell me she's dead
In the glow I could see her sweet face
Where I once held her tight
And it seems I could still hear her say
I'm going to miss you, she said
Three years go by and I have returned
And today they tell me she's dead
In an old churchyard, high upon a hill
An angel is waiting for me
On the little white cross,
I'm going to miss you, she said
Three years roll by and I have returned
And today they tell me she's dead you
