Lyrics:

Don't scatter roses after I'm gone

A wreath of roses they placed on his graveAnd while he was living, there were things that he cravedHis life as a pauper was so very dimHe needed the flowers while he could enjoy them

Chorus:Don't scatter roses after I'm goneGive them to me, while I carry onNow I need them to help me alongDon't scatter roses after I'm gone

Many times he was hungry, but you passed him byHe needed your help then, but you didn't tryTo help when him needing to carry onNow you give him flowers after he's gone?

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Don't scatter roses after I'm gone
