Give Me The Roses Lyrics - Carter Girl - Carlene Carter

Wonderful things of folks are said 

When they have passed away 

Roses adorn their narrow bed 

Over the sleeping clay 

Give me the roses while I live 

Trying to cheer me on 

Useless are flowers that you give 

After the soul is gone 

Let us not wait to do good deeds 

Till they have passed away 

Now is the time to sow good seeds 

While here on earth we stay

Give me the roses while I live 

Trying to cheer me on 

Useless are flowers that you give 

After the soul is gone 

Kind words are useless when folks lie 

Cold in a narrow bed 

Don't wait till death to speak kind words 

Now should the words be said 

Give me the roses while I live 

Trying to cheer me on 

Useless are flowers that you give 

After the soul is gone 

Give me the roses while I live 

Don't wait until I die 

To spread the roses over my grave 

To see as you pass it by
