Local Flowers Lyrics

(Tom T. Hall - Dixie Hall)

I have traveled this world over
I have rambled all my days
When my journeys have all ended
Place some flowers on my grave.

Local flowers just some daisies
Wildwood flowers from the hills
Where I will spend my eternal hours
Lay me down with local flowers.

--- Instrumental ---

Please don't buy those red carnations
I don't need the lilies fair
Just go walking on the mountain
Gather what is blooming there.

Clover's sweet as the love we shared
Myrtle says that you will miss me
Rambling roses say you cared.

Local flowers just some daisies
Wildwood flowers from the hills
Where I will spend my eternal hours
Lay me down with local flowers.

--- Instrumental ---

Let the bird sing from the tree tops
Let the grass grow where it may
No arrangements, no bright ribbons
Just a simple wild bouquet.

Local flowers just some daisies
Wildwood flowers from the hills
Where I will spend my eternal hours
Lay me down with local flowers...
