Poorman's Grave - Eraserheads[00:00:00]
Written by:Ely Buendia[00:00:00]
I know a man who had nothing[00:00:20]
He was a poor man all his life[00:00:24]
He lived in a shack by the roadside[00:00:29]
With starving kids and a loving wife[00:00:34]
He went to church every Sunday[00:00:48]
He prays from morning until night he said[00:00:53]
Good lord why have you forsaken me[00:00:57]
When everything I did I thought was right[00:01:02]
Now my life is coming to an end[00:01:08]
There's only one thing I'm wishing for[00:01:12]
All my days I have never sinned[00:01:17]
So I hope you won't ignore[00:01:21]
What I'm asking for[00:01:26]
Oh honey when I die[00:01:31]
Dress me up in a coat and tie[00:01:34]
Give my feet a pair of shoes[00:01:36]
That I haven't wore in a long time[00:01:38]
Put me in a golden box[00:01:41]
Not a cross on a pile of rocks[00:01:43]
Bury me where the grass is green[00:01:45]
And the gates are shining[00:01:47]
Oh honey when I die[00:01:50]
Give me a bed of roses[00:01:54]
Where I could lie[00:01:56]
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved[00:01:59]
'Coz I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave[00:02:04]
I know a man who had nothing[00:02:21]
He dreamed of satin sheets all his life[00:02:26]
He lived and worked like a dog[00:02:31]
Licking every boot he sees just to survive[00:02:35]
He comes home drunk every night[00:02:41]
Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife he said[00:02:45]
Honey you have been so good to me[00:02:50]
I only wish we had a better life[00:02:55]
And now my life's coming to an end[00:03:00]
There's only one thing I'm wishing for[00:03:04]
All my days I have lived in shame[00:03:09]
So I hope you won't ignore[00:03:13]
Just what I'm asking for[00:03:18]
Oh honey when I die[00:03:23]
Dress me up in a coat and tie[00:03:26]
Give my feet a pair of shoes[00:03:28]
That I haven't wore in a long time[00:03:30]
Put me in a golden box[00:03:33]
Not a cross on a pile of rocks[00:03:35]
Bury me where the grass is green[00:03:38]
And the gates are shining[00:03:39]
Oh honey when I die[00:03:42]
Give me a bed of roses[00:03:47]
Where I could lie[00:03:48]
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved[00:03:51]
'Coz I don't wanna lie in a poor man's poor man's[00:03:57]
Oh honey when I die[00:04:01]
Give me a bed of roses[00:04:06]
Where I could lie[00:04:07]
I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved[00:04:10]
'Coz I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave[00:04:16]
