Leave No Flowers On My Grave |
I went with my baby on out in the woods |
I lasted much longer than I thought I could |
But push came to shove and so went my dove |
Flapping and squawking her message of love |
Now my girl found a new peace |
Just six feet away |
And I pray to Lord God |
To please let her stay |
She fell down the crevice and dashed out her brains |
Her insides went outside her poor little frame |
Her wetstuffs went dry like the spark in her eye |
And I knew where I stood forever dead she would lie |
Now my girl found a new peace |
Just six feet away |
And I pray to Lord God |
To please let her stay |
She said «Don't leave no flowers |
There upon my grave |
'cause I’m coming home love |
And there will I stay» |
So I gathered some flowers and built up a cairn |
I said a few words and got outta there |
For in the woods there were sounds and I thought that I’s found |
But the noises were vultures that lit on her mound |
Now my girl found a new peace |
Just six feet away |
And I pray to Lord God |
To please let her stay |
She said «Don't leave no flowers |
There upon my grave |
'cause I’m coming home love |
And there will I stay» |
That night in our bedroom came a knock on the door |
And the shuffling of cold feet on our earthen floor |
I reached under the mattress for my hunting knife |
When in lurched my true love, dear departed wife |
Now my girl found a new peace |
Just six feet away |
And I pray to Lord God |
To please let her stay |
She said «Don't leave no flowers |
There upon my grave |
'cause I’m coming home love |
And there will I stay» |
«and I’m coming home love |
And there will I stay» |
