Eraserheads - Poormans Grave lyrics

I know a man who had nothing He was a poor man all his life He lived in a shack by the roadside With starving kids and a loving wife He went to church every Sunday He prays from morning until night, he said Good Lord, why have you forsaken me When everything I did I thought was right [Refrain:] Now my Life is coming to an end There's only one thing I'm wishing for All my days I have never sinned So I hope you wont ignore What I'm asking for... [Chorus I:] Oh honey when I die Dress me up in a coat and tie Give my feet a pair of shoes That I haven't wore in a long time Put me in a golden box Not a cross on a pile of rocks Bury me where the gra** is green And the gates are shining... [Chorus II:] Oh honey when I die Give me a bed of roses Where I could lie I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved 'Coz I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave... I know a man who had nothing He dreamed of satin sheets all his life He lived and worked like a dog Licking every boot he sees just to survive He comes home drunk every night Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife, he said Honey you have been so good to me I only wish we had a better life [Refrain II:] And now my life's coming to an end There's only one thing I'm wishing for All my days I have lived in shame So I hope you wont ignore Just what I'm asking for... [Chorus I:] Oh honey when I die Dress me up in a coat and tie Give my feet a pair of shoes That I haven't wore in a long time Put me in a golden box Not a cross on a pile of rocks Bury me where the gra** is green And the gates are shining... [Chorus III:] Oh honey when I die Give me a bed of roses Where I could lie I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved 'Coz I don't wanna lie in a poor man's... Oh honey when I die Give me a bed of roses Where I could lie I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved 'Coz I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave
