Local Flowers - Tom T. Hall

I have traveled this world over I have rambled all my days

When my journeys have all ended place some flowers on my grave

Local flowers just some daisies wildwood flowers from the hills

Where I will spend my eternal hours lay me down with local flowers

(ac.guitar)

Please don’t buy those red carnations I don’t need the lilies fair

Just go walking on the mountain gather what is blooming there

Rosemary means that you’ll remember clover’s sweet as the love we shared

Myrtle says that you will miss me rambling roses say you cared

Local flowers just some daisies…

(ac.guitar)

Let the bird sing from the tree tops let the grass grow where it may

No arrangements no bright ribbons just a simple wild bouquet

Local flowers just some daisies…
