John Prine Please Dont Burry Me Lyrics

Please Dont Burry Me Lyrics

i woke up this morning 

put on my slippers 

walked in the kitchen
and died



and oh what a feelin 

when my soul went through the
celing

and on up to heaven i did right

when i got there they did say


john i'd happened this 'a way

you slipped upon the floor and hit
youre head

and all the angels said just before you passed away 

these words are the last words you said



(chours)



please don't burry me down in the coco ground i'd rather have them 

cut me up and pass me all around

through my brain in a hurricane 

the blind can have my eyes

and the death can take both of my ears if
they don't manisize



and give my stomach to milwalkie if they run
out of beer

put my socks in a cedar box just to get them out of here

venus amoto can have my arms

look out i've got ure nose

sell my
heart to the junk man

and give my love to rose



(chours)



but give my feet to the footlose

careless fancy free 

and
give my knees to the needy 

don't pull that stuff on me

and hand me
down my walkin cane

just as soon's you tell a lie 

send my mouth
way down south and kiss my a** goodbye



(chours)
