Please Dont Bury Me Song Lyrics with Chords by (John Prine)

Woke up this mornin, put on my slippers

Walked in the kitchen and died

And oh what a feeling

When my soul went through the ceiling

And on up into heaven I did rise

When I got there they did say

“John it happened this ole way,

You slipped upon the floor and hit your head”

And all the angel say just before you passed away

These were the very last words that you said

Please don’t bury me down in the cold cold ground

I’d rather have them 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 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 them out of here

Venus De Milo can have my arms,

look out I got your nose

Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to rose

Please don’t bury me down in that cold cold ground

I’d rather have them 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 my ears

if they don’t mind the size

Give my feet to the foot loose ,careless ,fancy free

Give my knees to the needy,

don’t 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 goodbye

Please don’t bury me down in the cold cold ground

I’d rather have them 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 my ears

if they don’t mind the size
