dead flowers every morning

Well when you're sitting there
in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
in my ragged company
Well, you know
I could
never


be alone



Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground


And you can
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers
by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding




And I won't forget to put roses on your grave


Well when you're sitting back
in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room
with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away


Take me down little Susie,
take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can --
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave




{instrumental}


Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can -- send me
dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
Say it with dead flowers,
in my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave.
