       C        F          C
I have traveled this world over
       G              C
I have rambled all my days
        C        F        C
When my journeys have all ended
           G             C      C7
Place some flowers on my grave 


Chorus:
      F                 C
Local Flowers, just some Daisies
         G                C    C7
Wildwood flowers from the hill 
             F                C
Where I will spend my eternal hours
       G               C
Lay me down with Local Flowers

Please don't buy those Red Carnations
I don't need the Lilies fair
Just go walkin' on the mountain
Gather while it's blooming there


Rosemary means that you'll remember
Clover sweet as the love we shared
Myrtle says that you will miss me
Ramblin' Roses say you care

Chorus

Let the birds sing from the treetops
Let the grass grow where it may
No arrangements, no bright ribbons
Just a simple wild bouquet

Chorus
