My Last Two Tens Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

(Going home going home tell all my friends that I'm going home) 

If you should see me and I can't walk then if you should speak and I can't talk 

Feel of me if I'm cold there's a shovel in the car to dig the hole 

No I don't expect this last favor for nothing cause you're a busy man my friend 

So look on the end of the handle you'll find attacked two tens 

There's a phone number on the back of the shovel of a dear friend of days gone by 

Call her and tell her to bring her sister I've already gave them two tens to cry 

The Lord's prayer's engraved on a penny in the left pocket of my coat 

I carry this with me for two reasons the last so I never was broke 

Oh I've had a lot of beautiful dreams of things that might have been 

So please buy some pretty flowers in my right pocket is my last two tens 

I've made a little money in my time but perhaps more than a lot of men 

But I spent it all havin' a ball with a few fair weather friends 

But you know I brought nothin' with me to this old earth 

And now that my journey ends 

Me and this old world broke even since you have my last two tens 

(Going home going home tell all my friends that I'm going home)
