Tom T. Hall - Local Flowers lyrics

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

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
Rosemary means that you'll
Remember 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

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
