I'm Planting A Rose - Roy Acuff

When i’m done

With this cruel world

Plant me a rose

Let it grow

On my grave as i rest

At last

I’ll be going home

As i lay there down

Beneath my rose

Don’t shed one tear

For the life that i lead

At last

I’ll be at peace

In the next world

I’m sure

To find me some peace

There’ll be no one

To take advantage of me

At last

I’ll be free

It’s a long way

A long life

Filled with despair

Many a treachery

Befallen me

But at last

I’m going home
