Give Me Flowers While I'm Living Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

In this world today while we're living some folks say the worst of us they can 

But when we are dead and in our caskets they always slip some lilies in your hand 

Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living and let me enjoy them while I can 

Pleae don't wait till I'm ready to be buried and then slip some lilies in my hand 

[ dobro ] 

In this world is where we need the flowers a kind word to help us get along 

If you can't give me flowers while I'm living 

Then please don't throw 'em when I'm gone 

Won't you give me my flowers...
