Dead Flowers

Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair

Talkin' to some rich folks that you know

Well, I hope you don't see me in my ragged company

Well, you know I could never be alone

Take me down, little Susie, take me down

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

Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Days

Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon

And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down, little Susie, take me down

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

Take me down, little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

Send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Say it with dead flowers in my wedding

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

No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
