No Headstone On My Grave Lyrics - Original Album Series - Esther Phillips

No Headstone On My Grave 

Charlie Rich 

Don't put no headstone on my grave, 

All my life I've been a slave, 

I don't want the world to know, 

Here lies the fool that loved you so 

Don't send no flowers when I'm gone 

I just want you to put me down, and then move on 

Just put me down and let me be 

Free, from all this misery 

Now tell my Mother, my Mother not to cry 

I'll see her in the by and by 

Tell her that I'm finally free 

From all the trouble you caused me 

Please don't put no headstone on my grave, 

Like I said all my life I've been a slave, 

Just put me down and let me be 

Free, from all this misery 

Tell my Mother not to cry 

Tell her I'll see her in the by and by 

Tell her that I'm finally free 

From all the pain you caused me 

Don't put a headstone on my grave 

All my life I've been a slave, 

I want you to put me down and cover me up, and let me be 

Free from all this misery 

Lord, just let me be right now pretty baby 

And just let me go
