[Verse 1]
Darling, when you pass the graveyard
You'll see my name there on the slab
Won't you stop a little while, dear
For I will be so lonesome there

[Chorus]
Plant some flowers by my graveside
Just a little bunch of them
Makes no difference what they are, dear
Since your hands have planted them

[Verse 2]
Place your hand up on the tombstone
Place your mind upon the past
Then remember how I looked, dear
On the day you saw me last
You will do this, won't you, darling
This to you my last request
Won't you do this for me, darling
When they lay me down to rest

[Chorus]
Plant some flowers by my graveside
Just a little bunch of them
Makes no difference what they are, dear
Since your hands have planted them
[Bridge]
Someday, I hope we'll meet in heaven
I know there'll be no sadness there
But now I'll have to say farewell, love
I'm going to that golden shore

[Chorus]
Plant some flowers by my graveside
Just a little bunch of them
Makes no difference what they are, dear
Since your hands have planted them
