Lay Some Flowers on My Grave Songtext
von Parsonsfield

You must lay some flowers on my grave
You must lay some flowers on my grave
My mother she is gone
Left me in this world alone
You must lay some flowers on my grave
Now when this old building′s falling down
Just lay me six feet under ground
Wrap me up in solid clay
When I go my body stays
You must lay some flowers on my grave
Put a wreath of flowers at my right side
And you'll know that I′ve been satisfied
Put a bouquet on my breast
This poor boy's gone to rest
You must lay some flowers on my grave You must lay some flowers on my grave
You must lay some flowers on my grave
My mother she is gone
Left me in this world alone
You must lay some flowers on my grave
Now lay that morning glory at my feet
Then you'll know that I have gone to sleep
On my head board write my name
I leave many hearts in pain
You must lay some flowers on my grave
You must lay some flowers on my grave
You must lay some flowers on my grave
My mother she has gone
Left me in this world alone
You must lay some flowers on my grave


Now when this poor boy′s dead and gone
When I′ve left this old world alone
When you hear that church bell sing
When my body's got it′s wings
You must lay some flowers on my grave
(My Bonnie lies over the ocean)
(My Bonnie lies over the sea)
(My Bonnie lies over the ocean)
(So bring back my Bonnie to me)
