Lay Some Flowers on My Grave Lyrics

Lay Some Flowers on My Grave (Original Mix) - Blind Willie McTell

You must lay some flowers on my grave

 

You must lay some flowers on my grave

 

My mother and father have gone

Left me in this world alone

You must lay some flowers on my grave

 

My father was a roll sport and a gambler too

 

And he left me here just singin' the blues

 

I hope my heart will change

I don't want to die the same

You must lay some flowers on my grave

 

Put a wreath of flowers at my right side

 

Then you'll know that McTell's satisfied

 

Put a bouquet in my breast

You know poor boy's gone to rest

You must lay some flowers on my grave

 

Now when this old building is fallin' down

 

Just lay me six feet in the cold cold ground

 

Wrap me up in the solid clay

'Cause I come here to die one day

Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave

 

Put a morning glory at my head and feet

 

Then you'll know that McTell's gone to sleep

 

On my headboard write my name

 

I leave 'em many girl's heart in pain

Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave

 

Don't snatch the pillow from under my head

 

Don't grieve and worry after the days I'm dead

 

When I bid you this last goodbye

 

Don't none of you womens cry

You just lay some flowers on my grave

 

Now when I'm gone to come no more

 

And the old pallbearers lay me low

 

When you hear that coffin sound

You'll know McTell is in the ground

Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave

 

Now when the poor boy's dead and gone

 

I'm left in this old world all alone

 

When you hear that church bell toll

You'll know McTell's dead and gone

 

Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave
