D5                     G5 
Woke up this morning, put on my slippers 
D5                       A5 
went to the kitchen and died 
    D5                         G5        
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the celing 
    A5                        D5 
and on up in to heaven I did rise 
       G5                              D5 
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way 
                                       A5  
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head 
     D5                      G5                 D5 
And all the angels say just before you passed away 
                  A5                    D5 
these are the very last words that you said 


G5                         D5 
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground 
                                              A5 
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around 
D5              
Throw my brains in a huricane 
G5                     D5 
The blind can have my eyes 
G5                D5                A5                  D5 
'deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size  
 
Give my stomach to Milwakee if they run out of beer 
Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here 
Venus de milo can have my arms 
Look out! I've got your nose 
Sell my heart to the junk man 
And give my love to Rose 
 
CHORUS 
 
Give my feet to the foot-loose 
careless fancy free 
Give my knees to the needy 
don't 'cha pull that stuff on me 
Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie 
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye 
 
CHORUS
