PLEASE DON'T BURY ME by John Prine
CWoke up this morning, Fput on my slippers
CWalked in the kitchen and Gdied
And Coh, what a feelin' when my Fsoul went through the ceiling
And Gon up into heaven I did Crise
When I Fgot there they did say John it Chappened this a-way
You slipped upon the floor and hit your Ghead
And Call the angels say just Fbefore you passed Caway
These were the very Glast words that you Csaid
FPlease don't bury me down Cin the cold, cold ground
No, I druther have them cut me up and pass me all aGround
CThrow my brain in a hurricane and the Fblind can have my Ceyes
And the Fdeaf can take Cboth my ears if Gthey don't mind the Csize
Give my stomache to Milwaukee if they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box, just get them out of 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 & INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
Give my feet to the footloose, careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy, don't 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 goodbye
CHORUS
* "Here's a song that I like to play. *
* Print it out, play it and pass it around. *
* If you like it, send me one of your favourites." *
