[00:07.10]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:14.64]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:21.67]My mother and father have gone
[00:24.96]Left me in this world alone
[00:27.86]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:34.69]My father was a roll sport and a gambler too
[00:41.11]And he left me here just singin' the blues
[00:47.24]I hope my heart will change
[00:50.54]I don't want to die the same
[00:53.42]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[00:59.92]Put a wreath of flowers at my right side
[01:06.40]Then you'll know that McTell's satisfied
[01:12.17]Put a bouquet in my breast
[01:15.13]You know poor boy's gone to rest
[01:17.91]You must lay some flowers on my grave
[01:24.31]Now when this old building is fallin' down
[01:30.30]Just lay me six feet in the cold, cold ground
[01:36.21]Wrap me up in the solid clay
[01:39.15]'Cause I come here to die one day
[01:41.44]Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave
[01:47.97]Put a morning glory at my head and feet
[01:53.89]Then you'll know that McTell's gone to sleep
[01:59.77]On my headboard write my name
[02:02.57]I leave 'em many girl's heart in pain
[02:04.95]Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave
[02:11.56]Don't snatch the pillow from under my head
[02:17.29]Don't grieve and worry after the days I'm dead
[02:23.30]When I bid you this last goodbye
[02:25.85]Don't none of you womens cry
[02:28.49]You just lay some flowers on my grave
[02:34.60]Now when I'm gone, to come no more
[02:40.31]And the old pallbearers lay me low
[02:45.75]When you hear that coffin sound
[02:48.58]You'll know McTell is in the ground
[02:50.85]Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave
[02:57.24]Now when the poor boy's dead and gone
[03:02.69]I'm left in this old world all alone
[03:08.18]When you hear that church bell toll
[03:11.00]You'll know McTell's dead and gone
[03:13.28]Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave
