George Jones - Second handed flowers

^CI was working in Miami ^Ffor a day or ^Ctwo ^FI decided ^CI'd look up a girl that I once ^G7knew ^CI bought some flowers and went to see a ^Fgirl I used to ^Cknow ^FThe lady at her ^Cdoor said she had ^G7married long ^Cago

Times will change and towns will change but ^Fthere I was ^Calone ^FWhen suddenly ^CI wondered would Susie be at ^G7home ^CSo with the flowers in my hand I ^Fwalked toward her ^Cgate ^FSomeone touched me ^Con the arm and ^G7said you'll have to ^Cwait

Then I noticed there were people ^Fstanding in a ^Cline ^FSome of them were ^Cholding pretty flowers just like ^G7mine ^CThey explained that Susie had ^Fbeen in an awful ^Ccrash ^FDoctors said that ^Cshe had just a ^G7little while to ^Clast

When I walked into her room I ^Ffelt the sense of ^Cshame ^FBut I heard Susie ^Cwhisper I'm awfully glad you ^G7came ^CShe had been the girl that I had ^Falways gone to ^Csee ^FWhen someone that I ^Ccared for ^G7had been untrue to ^Cme

I handed her the flowers and she ^Fgently kissed my ^Chand ^FShe said don't be ^Cembarrassed for you know I under^G7stand ^CI said goodbye and as I bent to ^Fkiss her fevered ^Cbrow ^FI heard her whisper ^Cthank you for the ^G7second handed ^Cflowers
