Give Me The Roses Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

Wonderful things of folks are said 

When they have passed away 

Roses adorn the narrow bed 

Over the sleeping clay 

Give me the roses while I live 

Trying to cheer me on 

Useless the flowers that we give 

After the soul is gone 

Praises are heard not by the dead 

Roses they can not see 

Let us not wait til souls have flaked 

Generous friends to be 

Give me the roses while I live 

Trying to cheer me on 

Useless the flowers that we give 

After the soul is gone

Faults are forgiven when they lie 

Cold in their narrow bed 

Let us forgive them before they die 

Now should the words be said 

Give me the roses while I live 

Trying to cheer me on 

Useless the flowers that we give 

After the soul is gone 

After the soul is gone
