Lyrics I'm Planting A Rose - Roy Acuff

I'm Planting A Rose

When i’m done
With this cruel world
Plant me a rose
Let it grow
On my grave as i rest
At last
I’ll be going home
As i lay there down
Beneath my rose
Don’t shed one tear
For the life that i lead
At last
I’ll be at peace
In the next world
I’m sure
To find me some peace
There’ll be no one
To take advantage of me
At last
I’ll be free
It’s a long way
A long life
Filled with despair
Many a treachery
Befallen me
But at last
I’m going home
