[Verse 1]
See what the boys in the back room will have
Tell them I'm having the same
Go see what the boys in the back room will have
Give them the poison they name

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I die
Don't spend my money on flowers
Or my picture in a frame

[Chorus]
Just see what the boys in the back room will have
And tell them I sighed
And tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I die
Don't buy a casket of silver
With the candles all aflame

[Chorus]
Just see what the boys in the back room will have
And tell them that I sighed
Tell them I cried
And tell them I died of the same
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Now just go see what the boys in the back room will have
Bring them the poison the name
Go and see what the boys in the back room will have
And tell them to make mine the same

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I die
Don't pay the preacher
For speaking of my glory and my fame

[Chorus]
Just see what the boys in the back room will have
And tell them I sighed
And tell them I cried
And tell them I eventually died of the same
