The Carter Family - Give Me Roses While I Live lyrics

[Verse 1] Wonderful things of folks are said When they have pa**ed away Roses adorn their narrow bed Over the sleeping clay [Chorus] Give me the roses while I live Trying to cheer me on Useless are flowers that you give After the soul has gone [Verse 2] Let us not wait to do good deeds Till they have pa**ed away Now is the time to sow good seeds While here on earth we stay [Chorus] [Verse 3] Kind words are useless when folks lie Cold in a narrow bed Don't wait till d**h to speak kind words Now should the words be said [Chorus][x3]
