Please don’t bury me.
John Prine

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling
When my soul went through 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

Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd 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 don't 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, I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd 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 don't mind the size

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd 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 don't mind the size

Sorry John, thanks for all the ideas you have about what or how to give away your body parts,....but,... though we opted to cut you up into small parts as you requested, we just had to test the new turkey deep fryer in the backyard before next Thanksgiving and with excess flour and spices left over from grandma's baking, we couldn't resist breading and deep frying you. Mmmmm.....so hungry..... I hope this turns out finger-lickin' good!

Amen.

Okay guys, lets eat.

The Donner Party made a wrong turn at the fork in the road, that led to such goings-on.

*

As it is, the tune’s light-hearted acceptance of that fateful day for all, could be used to encourage organ donations for the modern science of medicine.

Exceptin’ for one thing.

Right off, it mentions "soul."
Such a reference could have unintended consequences for folks on the waiting list.
Such a reference might not even make it past the final arbiter.

An old forecast of desperados today slipping over the border.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQnW-MxAU6U

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all sangin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street



Commentary: Does the tempo speed up at 2:20 and 4:40?
