Lyrics Please Don't Bury Me

Woke up this morning put on my slippers walked in the kitchen and died

And oh what a feeling when my soul went thru the ceiling and on up into heaven I did ride

When I got there they did say

John, it happened this 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

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

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

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

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

But pease 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
