lyrics

SONG FROM THE GRAVE – Osborne/Jones

Bury me with a pen and paper
Bury me with my guitar
Please place them in my coffin
‘Fore you put me in the funeral car
Bury me with all those treasured
Memories I’ll always save
And when it seems the time is ready
I’ll sing you a song from the grave

Carry me…carefully…my brothers and my friends
Throw the soil over me just as the daylight ends
Drink to me…recklessly…and play my music loud
And kiss the woman respectfully…who wears the widow’s shroud

Bury me with that black and white photograph
The one of you I kept by my bed
Dress me in that fine suit you bought me
So I can look good when I’m dead
Bury me with your final letter
The one you sent to say “Be Brave!”
And when it seems the time is ready
I’ll sing you a song from the grave

Carry me…carefully…my brothers and my friends
Throw the soil over me just as the daylight ends
Drink to me…recklessly…and play my music loud
And kiss the woman respectfully…who wears the widow’s shroud

Bury me with a bottle of whiskey
And a crystal glass inside my hand
Maybe a handful of rose petals
From the flowers that grow on our land
Bury me ‘neath that old shady tree
With a stone with this title engraved
And when it seems the time is ready
I’ll sing you a song from the grave

Carry me…carefully…my brothers and my friends
Throw the soil over me just as the daylight ends
Drink to me…recklessly…and play my music loud
And kiss the woman respectfully…who wears the widow’s shroud
Drink to me…recklessly…and play my music loud
And when it seems the time is ready
I’ll sing you a song from the grave
