My Last Two Tens Lyrics

(Going home, going home

Tell all my friends that I'm going home.)

(Spoken)

If you should see me and I can't walk

Then if you should speak and I can't talk

Feel of me if I'm cold

There's a shovel in the car to dig the hole.

No I don't expect this last favour for nothing

Cause I know you're a busy man my friend

So look on the end of the handle

You'll find attacked two tens.

There's a phone number on the back of the shovel

Of a dear friend of days gone by

Call her and tell her to bring her sister

I've already gave them two tens to cry.

The Lord's prayer's engraved on a penny

In the left pocket of my coat

I carry this with me for two reasons

The last so I never was broke.

Oh, I've had a lot of beautiful dreams

Of things that might have been

So please buy some pretty flowers

In my right pocket is my last two tens.

I've made a little money in my time

But perhaps more than a lot of men

But I spent it all havin' a ball

With a few fairweather friends.

But you know I brought nothin'

With me to this old earth

And now that my journey ends

Me and this old world broke

Even since you have my last two tens

(Going home, going home

Tell all my friends that I'm going home...)
