The Cup Song lyrics:

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round

Two bottles of whiskey for the way

And I sure wouldn't mind some sweet company

And I'm leaving tomorrow what d'ya say?

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my hair, miss me everywhere

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I’ve got my ticket for the long way ‘round

The one with the prettiest of views

It’s got mountains it’s got rivers

It’s got sights to give you shivers

But it sure would be prettier with you

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my hair, miss me everywhere

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
