Lyrics
Woke up this morning, 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 did I rise
When I got there, they did say
"John, it happened this-a way
You slipped upon the floor and hit your head"
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These are the very last words that you said
Please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground
No, I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brains in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to the milk-walk 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've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman and give my love to Rose
Please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground
No, I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brains in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
Give my feet to the footloose, careless, fancy-free
Give my knees to the knee-deep, don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane, it's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down South to kiss my ass goodbye
Please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground
No, I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brains in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
