Lyrics for Please Don’t Burry Me
By John Prine

Email icon Email these lyrics to a friend

i woke up this morning
put on my slippers
walked in the kitchen and died

and oh what a feelin
when my soul went through the celing
and on up to heaven i did right
when i got there they did say
john i'd happened this 'a way
you slipped upon the floor and hit youre head
and all the angels said just before you passed away
these words are the last words you said

(chours)

please don't burry me down in the coco ground i'd rather have them
cut me up and pass me all around
through my brain in a hurricane
the blind can have my eyes
and the death can take both of my ears if they don't manisize

and give my stomach to milwalkie if they run out of beer
put my socks in a cedar box just to get them out of here
venus amoto can have my arms
look out i've got ure nose
sell my heart to the junk man
and give my love to rose

(chours)

but give my feet to the footlose
careless fancy free
and give my knees to the needy
don't pull that stuff on me
and hand me down my walkin cane
just as soon's you tell a lie
send my mouth way down south and kiss my a** goodbye

(chours)
