Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[Verse 1] D G Woke up this mornin, put on my slippers D A Walked in the kitchen and died D And oh what a feeling G When my soul went through the ceiling A D And on up into heaven I did rise G When I got there they did say D "John it happened this ole way, A You slipped upon the floor and hit your head" D G D And all the angel say just before you passed away A D These were the very last words that you said [Chorus] G D Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground A I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around D G D Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes G D And the deaf can take both my ears A D If they don't mind the size [Verse 2] D G Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer D Put my socks in a cedar box, A just get them out of here D Venus De Milo can have my arms, G look out I got your nose D A D Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to rose [Chorus] G D Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground A I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around D G D Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes G D And the deaf can take both my ears A D if they don't mind the size [Verse 3] D G Give my feet to the foot loose ,careless ,fancy free D Give my knees to the needy, A don't pull that stuff on me D Hand me down my walkin cane, G it's a sin to tell a lie D A D Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass goodbye [Chorus] G D Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground A I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around D G D Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes G D And the deaf can take both my ears A D if they don't mind the size
