Poorman’s Grave

[Verse 1]
I know a man who had nothing
He was a poor man all his life
He lived in a shack by the roadside
With starving kids and a loving wife

[Verse 2]
He went to church every Sunday
He prays from morning until night, he said
"Good Lord, why have you forsaken me?
When everything I did I thought was right"

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my Life's coming to an end
And there's one thing I'm wishing for
All my life I have never sinned
So please don't ignore
What I'm askin' for

[Chorus]
Oh honey, when I die
Dress me up in a coat and tie
Give me a pair of boots
That I haven't wore for a long timе
Put me in a golden box
Not a cross on a pile of rocks
Bury mе where the grass is green
And the gates are shining
Oh honey, when I die
Give me a bed of roses
Where I could lie
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved
'Cause I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave

[Verse 3]
I know a man who had nothing
He dreamed of satin sheets all his life
He lived and worked like a dog
Licks up every shoes he sees to survive

[Verse 4]
He comes home drunk every night
Wakes up the kids and talked to his wife, he said
"Honey, you have been so good to me
I only wish we had a better life"

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my life's coming to an end
And there's one thing I'm wishing for
All my life I have never sinned
So please don't ignore
What I'm askin' for

[Chorus]
Oh honey, when I die
Dress me up in a coat and tie
Give me a pair of boots
That I haven't wore for a long time
Put me in a golden box
Not a cross on a pile of rocks
Bury me where the grass is green
And the gates are shining
Oh honey, when I die
Give me a bed of roses
Where I could lie
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved
'Cause I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave
