[Verse 1]
CWoke up this morning, Fput on my slippers C
walked to the kitchen and Gdied
And Coh what a feeling when my Fsoul went through the celing
and Gon up in to Fheaven I did Crise
When I Fgot there they did say John it Chappened this-a-way
you slipped upon the floor and hit yourG head
And aCll the angels say just Fbefore you passed Caway
these are the very Glast words that you Csaid
[Chorus]
FPlease don't bury me down Cin that cold cold ground
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all Garound
CThrow my brains in a huricane, and the Fblind can have my Ceyes
F'deaf can take boCth of my ears if Gthey don't mind theC size
[Verse 2]
CGive my stomach to Milwakee if Fthey run out of Cbeer
Put my socks in a cedar box just Gget 'em out'a here
CVenus de milo can have my arms, Flook out! I've got Cyour nose
FSell my heart to the Cjunk man and Ggive my love to CRose
[Chorus]
FPlease don't bury me down Cin that cold cold ground
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all Garound
CThrow my brains in a huricane, and the Fblind can have my Ceyes
F'deaf can take boCth of my ears if Gthey don't mind theC size
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
CGive my feet to the foot-loose, Fcareless fancy Cfree
Give my knees to the needy, don't Gpull that stuff on me
CHand me down my walkin' cane, it's a Fsin to tell a Clie
FSend my mouth Cway down south and Gkiss my ass good-Cbye
[Chorus]
FPlease don't bury me down Cin that cold cold ground
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all Garound
CThrow my brains in a huricane, and the Fblind can have my Ceyes
F'deaf can take boCth of my ears if Gthey don't mind theC size
