Dad said John Prine was one of his musical heroes and quoted this song in his last days. https://youtube/watch?v=JfBdMXhpQnU Woke up this morning Put on my slippers Walked in the kitchen and died And oh what a feeling! When my soul Went thru the ceiling And on up into heaven I did ride When I got there they did say John, it happened this way You slipped upon the floor And hit your head And all the angels say Just before you passed away These were the very last words That you said: Chorus: Please dont bury me Down in that cold cold ground No, Id druther have em cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they dont mind the size Give my stomach to Milwaukee If they run out of beer Put my socks in a cedar box Just get em out of here Venus de Milo can have my arms Look out! Ive got your nose Sell my heart to the junkman And give my love to Rose Repeat Chorus Give my feet to the footloose Careless, fancy free Give my knees to the needy Dont pull that stuff on me Hand me down my walking cane Its a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south And kiss my ass goodbye Repeat Chorus I know for a fact hed tell us all not to be sad for his passing, but we should all be very happy we have each other, count our blessings and find something to laugh about. I hope this song is a good start. Hello, love, and happiness, Eric Graybill, forever Moes son and friend
