[00:01.37]Lay Some Flowers On My Grave - Blind Willie McTell
[00:07.70]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:15.01]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:22.06]My mother and father have gone
[00:25.52]Left me in this world alone
[00:28.49]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:35.18]My father was a roll sport and a gambler too
[00:41.62]And he left me here just singin' the blues
[00:47.89]I hope my heart will change
[00:51.16]I don't want to die the same
[00:53.95]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[01:00.64]Put a wreath of flowers at my right side
[01:06.80]Then you'll know that McTell's satisfied
[01:12.94]Put a bouquet in my breast
[01:15.93]You know poor boy's gone to rest
[01:18.91]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[01:25.29]Now when this old building is fallin' down
[01:31.33]Just lay me six feet in the cold cold ground
[01:37.25]Wrap me up in the solid clay
[01:40.06]'Cause I come here to die one day
[01:42.58]Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave
[01:49.06]Put a morning glory at my head and feet
[01:54.98]Then you'll know that McTell's gone to sleep
[02:00.87]On my headboard write my name
[02:03.85]I leave 'em many girl's heart in pain
[02:06.42]Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave
[02:12.80]Don't snatch the pillow from under my head
[02:18.69]Don't grieve and worry after the days I'm dead
[02:24.49]When I bid you this last goodbye
[02:27.48]Don't none of you womens cry
[02:30.04]You just lay some flowers on my grave
[02:36.11]Now when I'm gone to come no more
[02:41.95]And the old pallbearers lay me low
[02:47.52]When you hear that coffin sound
[02:50.34]You'll know McTell is in the ground
[02:52.96]Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave
[02:59.00]Now when the poor boy's dead and gone
[03:04.51]I'm left in this old world all alone
[03:10.20]When you hear that church bell toll
[03:12.97]You'll know McTell's dead and gone
[03:15.35]Hot mama lay some flowers on my grave
