INTRO:

1. When the last breath of life is gone from my body

2. Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you

And my lips are as cold as the sea

Till my life on this old world is through

When my friends gather 'round for my farewell party

You'll be free at the end of my farewell party

Won't you pretend you love me?

But I'll go away lovin' you

CHORUS: They'll be flowers from those who'll cry when I go

And leave you in this old world a - lone

I know you'll have fun at my farewell party

I know you'll be glad when I'm gone (AT END OF SECOND CHORUS):

I know you'll be glad when I'm gooooooooooooooooooooooooone
