Lord I get myself on the Pardon Board, you know I got denied again. Been on the Board three times, each time I was denied. But I hopes in the good Lord. Lord have mercy on me - Robert Pete Williams, Pardon Denied Again
Some of these days, gonna miss me honey Some of these days, I am going away Some of these days, gonna miss your honey You know your gonna miss me, by me going away
Some of these days, your gonna be sorry Some of these days, I am going away Some of these days, gonna miss your honey Know you gonna miss me, by me going away
You will never know, what your?(friend?) will do When you going away, he will?(miss him?) (aw?) returning You will (miss him?), by me going away You will (miss him?), oh honey Know you're gonna miss me , by me going away
Break:
You will never know, what your friend will do When you goin' away, you will miss him (aw?) returning You will miss him, by me going away You will miss him, (aw?) returning You know you gonna miss me, by me going away.?

This is one of my favorite songs to play, difficult to perform well because of the slow tempo, but really full of feeling. Patton's version is much different, faster, and without the same kind of longing. I think your lyrics are pretty close to Paul Rishell's version (the live version on the new CD will give you goose bumps).
Here's what I'm hearing:
"When you're going away, you will miss it or return it You will miss it by me going away You will miss it, oh honey"
I just listened to the live version (which may be slightly different than what you have), and this is what I hear, maybe a bit closer to yours after all.
Some of these days, gonna miss your honey Some of these days, I'll be goin away Some of these days, gonna miss your honey You know your gonna miss me, by my goin away
Some of these days, your gonna be sorry Some of these days, I'll be goin away Some of these days, gonna miss your honey Know you gonna miss me, by my goin away
You will never know, what your friend will do When he's goin away, you will miss him or return him You will miss him, by me goin away You will miss him, oh honey Know you're gonna miss me, by my goin away
You will never know, what your friend will do When he's goin away, you will miss him or return him You will miss him, by my goin away You will miss him, oh, honey You know you gonna miss me, by my goin away.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for helping in the effort to figure out these lyrics. I have all of Paul Rishell's CD's. I'll give another listen to the one you mention. I e-mailed Paul Rishell today asking for his help.?If he responds I'll post the corrected lyrics. Steve
