TITLE:    Dont Bury Me
ARTIST:   John Prine


                     
Woke up this morning, put on my slippers
                       
went to the kitchen and died
                             
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the celing
                            
and on up in to heaven I did rise
                                     
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way
                                       
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head
                                            
And all the angels say just before you passed away
                                      
these are the very last words that you said

CHORUS:
                         
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
                                              
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around

Throw my brains in a huricane
                     
The blind can have my eyes
                                                  
'deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size

Give my stomach to Milwakee if they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here
Venus de milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose

CHORUS

Give my feet to the foot-loose
careless fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
don't 'cha pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye

CHORUS
