Poorman's Grave Lyrics - Eraserheads

I. 

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 

II. 

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 

Refrain: 

Now my Life is coming to an end 

There's only one thing I'm wishing for 

All my days I have never sinned 

So I hope you wont ignore 

What I'm asking for...

Chorus I: 

Oh honey when I die 

Dress me up in a coat and tie 

Give my feet a pair of shoes 

That I haven't wore in 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... 

Chorus II: 

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 

'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's grave...

III. 

I know a man who had nothing 

He dreamed of satin sheets all his life 

He lived and worked like a dog 

Licking every boot he sees just to survive 

IV. 

He comes home drunk every night 

Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife, he said 

Honey you have been so good to me 

I only wish we had a better life 

Refrain II: 

And now my lifes coming to an end 

There's only one thing I'm wishing for 

All my days I have lived in shame 

So I hope you wont ignore 

Just what I'm asking for... 

Chorus I: 

Oh honey when I die 

Dress me up in a coat and tie 

Give my feet a pair of shoes 

That I haven't wore in 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... 

Chorus III: 

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 

'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's... 

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 

'Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man's grave...
