Dead Flowers

Dead Flowers - The Rolling Stones

 

Townes Van Zandt cover version

Well, when you're sitting there

in your silk upholstered chair

Talking to some rich folk that you know

I hope you won't see me

in my ragged company

Cause you know I could never be alone

 

Take me down little Susie take me down

Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

You can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

 

Well, when you're sitting back

in your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on your Kentucky derby days

I'll be in my basement room

with a needle and a spoon

With another girl to take my pain away

 

Take me down little Susie take me down

Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

Send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
