lyrics

When I die, spread my ashes far and wide
Back to the earth from which I came
When I die my body will decay
Back to the earth from which it came

When I die, won't you lay me low
And pray the Lord for to save my soul
Or my ghost may wander and toil in vain
Let me rest in the earth from which I came

When I die, spread my ashes far and wide
Back to the earth from which I came

When I die won't you sink me down
'Neath the the muddy river on the 'skirts of town
Let that peaceful current carry me home
To a grave forever unknown

When I die, spread my ashes far and wide
Back to the earth from which I came

When I die, don’t you write on my stone
A sentiment left for the rain
But if you must won't you keep plain
"I've gone back to the earth from which I came"

When I die, spread my ashes far and wide
Back to the earth from which I came
When I die my body will decay
Back to the earth from which it came

Let me rest in the earth from which I came

It’s not a pretty picture, but then, life never is.” (Greyowl Point) ... more
