Sons of Perdition

Leave No Flowers On My Grave
I went with my baby on out in the woods
I lasted much longer than I thought I could
But push came to shove, and so went my dove
Flapping and squawking her message of love
Now my girl found a new peace
Just six feet away
And I pray to Lord God
To please let her stay
She fell down the crevice and dashed out her brains
Her insides went outside her poor little frame
Her wetstuffs went dry like the spark in her eye
And I knew where I stood forever dead she would lie
Now my girl found a new peace
Just six feet away
And I pray to Lord God
To please let her stay
She said, 'Don't leave no flowers
There upon my grave
'Cause I'm coming home, love
And there will I stay'
So I gathered some flowers and built up a cairn
I said a few words and got outta there
For in the woods there were sounds
And I thought that I's found
But the noises were vultures that lit on her mound

Now my girl found a new peace
Just six feet away
And I pray to Lord God
To please let her stay
She said, 'Don't leave no flowers
There upon my grave
'Cause I'm coming home, love
And there will I stay'
That night in our bedroom came a knock on the door
And the shuffling of cold feet on our earthen floor
I reached under the mattress for my hunting knife
When in lurched my true love, dear departed wife
Now my girl found a new peace
Just six feet away
And I pray to Lord God
To please let her stay
She said, 'Don't leave no flowers
There upon my grave
'Cause I'm coming home, love
And there will I stay'
Yeah, I'm coming home, love
And there will I stay
