TITLE: Dont Bury Me
ARTIST: John Prine
Woke up this morning, put on my slippers
went to the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the celing
and on up in to heaven I did rise
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head
And all the angels say just before you passed away
these are the very last words that you said
CHORUS:
Please don t bury me down in that cold cold ground
I d rather have em cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brains in a huricane
The blind can have my eyes
deaf can take both of my ears if they don t mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwakee if they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box just get em out a here
Venus de milo can have my arms
Look out! I ve got your nose
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose
CHORUS
Give my feet to the foot-loose
careless fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
don t cha pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walkin cane, it s a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye
CHORUS
