Don't Send Me Roses Lyrics - The Black Roses

Don't send me roses on my dyin' day 

Don't bring me lilies to lay on my grave 

Make sure that you bury me with my mouth wide open 

So you can pour that whiskey down on my grave 

Don't tell my wife I had four other lovers 

But please tell my son, he's got four older brothers 

Don't burn my body like a witch down in Salem 

Float me down the Spokane River back home 

All my life I've been tryin' to understand 

How to love my woman the best that I can 

So don't send me roses on my dyin' day 

And don't bring me lilies to place on my grave 

Make sure that you bury me with my mouth wide open 

So you can pour that whiskey down on my grave 

So don't send me sympathy scrawled on a napkin 

From the diner where we first locked eyes 

I think it's more fitting if you burned all my clothes 

Be sure to take a number to piss on my stone 

All my life I've been tryin' to understand 

How to love my woman like no other man 

Don't send me roses on my dyin' day 

And don't bring me lilies to place on my grave 

Make sure that you bury me with my mouth wide open 

So you can pour that whiskey down on my grave 

Don't send me roses on my dyin' day 

And don't bring me lilies to lay on my grave 

Shouldn't have married me with my mouth wide open 

So I could drink that whiskey down to my grave
