I. |
|
I know a man who had nothing |
|
He was a poor man all his life |
|
He lived in a shack by the roadside |
|
With starving kids and a loving wife |
|
II. |
|
He went to church every Sunday |
|
He prays from morning until night, he said |
|
Good Lord, why have you forsaken me |
|
When everything I did I thought was right |
|
Refrain: |
|
Now my Life is coming to an end |
|
There's only one thing I'm wishing for |
|
All my days I have never sinned |
|
So I hope you wont ignore |
|
What I'm asking for... |
|
Chorus I: |
|
Oh honey when I die |
|
Dress me up in a coat and tie |
|
Give my feet a pair of shoes |
|
That I haven't wore in a long time |
|
Put me in a golden box |
|
Not a cross on a pile of rocks |
|
Bury me where the grass is green |
|
And the gates are shining... |
|
Chorus II: |
|
Oh honey when I die |
|
Give me a bed of roses |
|
Where I could lie |
|
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved |
|
'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's grave... |
|
III. |
|
I know a man who had nothing |
|
He dreamed of satin sheets all his life |
|
He lived and worked like a dog |
|
Licking every boot he sees just to survive |
|
IV. |
|
He comes home drunk every night |
|
Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife, he said |
|
Honey you have been so good to me |
|
I only wish we had a better life |
|
Refrain II: |
|
And now my lifes coming to an end |
|
There's only one thing I'm wishing for |
|
All my days I have lived in shame |
|
So I hope you wont ignore |
|
Just what I'm asking for... |
|
Chorus I: |
|
Oh honey when I die |
|
Dress me up in a coat and tie |
|
Give my feet a pair of shoes |
|
That I haven't wore in a long time |
|
Put me in a golden box |
|
Not a cross on a pile of rocks |
|
Bury me where the grass is green |
|
And the gates are shining... |
|
Chorus III: |
|
Oh honey when I die |
|
Give me a bed of roses |
|
Where I could lie |
|
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved |
|
'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's... |
|
Oh honey when I die |
|
Give me a bed of roses |
|
Where I could lie |
|
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved |
|
'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's grave... |
