Dead Flowers - Townes Van Zandt

Well, when you’re sitting there in your silk upholstered chair

Talking to some rich folk 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 can 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

Hey

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 at my wedding

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

No, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
