Flowers on Her Grave
Flowers on her grave
Rosie had a troubled mind
Engaged to Jim, he was the murderous kind
She left him at the altar and he had killed for less
He buried her in her wedding dress
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
But Jim, in a melancholic wave
Took his guitar to play at her grave
'T was a year to the day and remorseful Jim
Was found hanging by a guitar string
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
One year some cattle grazed near her stone
The spooked wrangler passed out, fell and broke his bones
He came by arms and legs tied to four of his cows
One pulled east, one west, one north and one south
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
They once tried to dig old Rosie up
To take her far away and make this thing stop
Three men armed with shovels, well, they never came home
Since then there's four names written on her stone
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
Rosie had a troubled mind
Engaged to Jim, he was the murderous kind
She left him at the altar and he had killed for less
He buried her in her wedding dress
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
But Jim, in a melancholic wave
Took his guitar to play at her grave
'T was a year to the day and remorseful Jim
Was found hanging by a guitar string
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
One year some cattle grazed near her stone
The spooked wrangler passed out, fell and broke his bones
He came by arms and legs tied to four of his cows
One pulled east, one west, one north and one south
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
They once tried to dig old Rosie up
To take her far away and make this thing stop
Three men armed with shovels, well, they never came home
Since then there's four names written on her stone
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
Don't you go there when there's flowers on her grave
Don't you go there
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
On her wedding day
Her wedding day
