Poorman's Grave Lyrics - Eraserheads

1 I.

2 I know a man who had nothing

3 He was a poor man all his life

4 He lived in a shack by the roadside

5 With starving kids and a loving wife

6 II.

7 He went to church every Sunday

8 He prays from morning until night, he said

9 Good Lord, why have you forsaken me

10 When everything I did I thought was right

11 Refrain:

12 Now my Life is coming to an end

13 There's only one thing I'm wishing for

14 All my days I have never sinned

15 So I hope you wont ignore

16 What I'm asking for...

17 Chorus I:

18 Oh honey when I die

19 Dress me up in a coat and tie

20 Give my feet a pair of shoes

21 That I haven't wore in a long time

22 Put me in a golden box

23 Not a cross on a pile of rocks

24 Bury me where the grass is green

25 And the gates are shining...

26 Chorus II:

27 Oh honey when I die

28 Give me a bed of roses

29 Where I could lie

30 I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved

31 'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's grave...

32 III.

33 I know a man who had nothing

34 He dreamed of satin sheets all his life

35 He lived and worked like a dog

36 Licking every boot he sees just to survive

37 IV.

38 He comes home drunk every night

39 Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife, he said

40 Honey you have been so good to me

41 I only wish we had a better life

42 Refrain II:

43 And now my lifes coming to an end

44 There's only one thing I'm wishing for

45 All my days I have lived in shame

46 So I hope you wont ignore

47 Just what I'm asking for...

48 Chorus I:

49 Oh honey when I die

50 Dress me up in a coat and tie

51 Give my feet a pair of shoes

52 That I haven't wore in a long time

53 Put me in a golden box

54 Not a cross on a pile of rocks

55 Bury me where the grass is green

56 And the gates are shining...

57 Chorus III:

58 Oh honey when I die

59 Give me a bed of roses

60 Where I could lie

61 I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved

62 'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's...

63 Oh honey when I die

64 Give me a bed of roses

65 Where I could lie

66 I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved

67 'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's grave...
