Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in
the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:
Chorus:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all
around
Throw my brain 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 Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" 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
Repeat Chorus
Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my
knees to the needy
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
And kiss my ass goodbye
Repeat Chorus
Prine John Chords
Everything is cool Everything's okay Why just before last christmas My baby went
Christmas toys all over the place Little johnny wears a funny
There's a pine tree in a window in a house
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there
He's just a small fry, a bit too gun shy To
I threw a party. nobody came. I bought all the tickets.
Maureen, maureen, I shot a doctor last night on the airplane Well,
You may live alone And close your eyes some folks do You
Let's take a slow boat to China Leave from South Carolina Let's
Here's the story of a man and his family And a
Things got rough Things got tough Things got harder than hard We were
I'm going steady with iron ore betty And she's goin' steady
There was a time When lonely men would wander Thru this land Rolling
Hey, there she goes Well I though she'd never leave Heaven knows Well
The last time that I saw her She was standing in

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, I did ride
When I got there, they did say
"John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head"
And all the angels
say
"Just before you passed away
That these were the very last words
That you said"
"Please don?t bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
No, I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"
"Throw my brain 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 Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just to get 'em out of
here"
"Venus De Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose"
"But please don?t bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"
"Throw my brain in a hurricane
The blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don?t mind the size, oh man!"
"Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
And give
my knees to the needy
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
And kiss my ass goodbye"
"But, please don?t bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"
"Throw my brain 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, that's right"
