Hall [C] I have traveled [F] this world [C] over I have [G7] rambled all my [C] days When my journey's [F] have all [C] ended Place some [G7] flowers on my [C] grave. [C7] CHORUS Local [F] Flowers, just some [C] Daisies Wildwood [G7] flowers from the [C] hill [C7] Where I will [F] spend my eternal [C] hours Lay me [G7] down with Local [C] Flowers. Please don't buy those Red Carnations I don't need the Lilies fair Just go walkin' on the mountain Gather while it's blooming there. Rosemary means that you'll remember Clover sweet as the love we shared Mrytle says that you will miss me Ramblin' Roses say you care. CHORUS Let the birds sing from the tree tops Let the grass grow where it may No arrangement, no bright ribbons Just a simple, wild bouquet. CHORUS SOURCE: TOM T. HALL-HOME GROWN
