When the last breath of life is gone from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
.
When my friends gather round for my farewell party
Won't you pretend you love me
Chorus:
There,ll be flowers from those who'll cry when I'm gone
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you
Till my life on this old world is though
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I'll go away lovein' you
Chorus
