Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: Local Flowers
Lyrics for Album: Home Grown [Mercury] [1997]



(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.



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

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...
