I
WHEN TIME SHALL COME FOR MY LEAVING,
WHEN I BID YOU A DEW.
DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY FOR FLOWERS, JUST A ROSE WILL DO.
II
JUST HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED PREACHER,
PREACH A SERMON SO TRUE.
I'LL NEED NO BEAUTIFIED FLOWERS, JUST A ROSE WILL DO.
III
I'LL NEED NO ORGAINIZATION,
JUST TO MAKE A TO DO,
I'LL NEED NO BRIGHT DECORATIONS. JUST A ROSE WILL DO.
CHORUS
I'LL GO TO A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN,
AT LAST WHEN LIFES WORK IS THRU,
DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY FOR FLOWERS, JUST A ROSE WILL DO.
