Wilburn Brothers - Give Them The Roses Now Lyrics

Wonderful things of folks are said when they have passed away

Roses're torn the narrow bed over the sleeping clay

Give me the roses while I live trying to cheer me on

Useless to flowers that you give after the soul is gone



Praises I've heard not by the dead roses they cannot see

Let us not pray till souls have pled generous friends to be

Give me the roses while...

[ dobro ]

Olds are forgiven when folks lie cold in the narrow bed

Let us forgive them where they die now should the words be said

Give me the roses while...
