lirik lagu john prine - please don't bury me (live)
[intro]
this is a song about giving different parts of your body away
after you’re dead
if you’re still around, talk back
[verse 1]
woke up this morning, i put on my slippers
i walked in the kitchen and died
and oh, what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling
and on up into heaven i did ride
[verse 2]
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 were the very last words that you said”
[chorus]
please don’t bury me down in thе cold cold ground
no, i’d druther have ’em cut mе up and pass me all around
throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
and the deaf can take both of my ears, if they don’t mind the size
[verse 3]
give my stomach to milwaukee if they run out of beer
put my socks in a cedar box, just get ’em out of here
venus de milo can have my arms, look out, i’ve got your nose
sell my heart to the junkman and give my love to rose
[chorus]
but please don’t bury me down in that cold cold ground
no, i’d druther have ’em cut me up and pass me all around
throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
and the deaf can take both of my ears, if they don’t mind the size
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
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 walking cane, it’s a sin to tell a lie
send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass goodbye
[chorus]
but please don’t bury me down in that cold cold ground
no, i’d druther have ’em cut me up and pass me all around
throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
and the deaf can take both of my ears, if they don’t mind the size
[outro]
thank you so much
