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
