When I die, put my body in the earth Without a coffin encasing me Without a sheet enveloping me Put me in the earth in jeans and a t shirt The same way I lived Tell my daughter she doent need my permission To stay out late To drink To marry the man she wants If I disapprove of him it's already too late Tell my son to do away with formality To buy dinner for the boy he likes To hold the door open for everyone And to never believe someone When they tell him he’s a bad man When I die, all my affairs might not be in order But someone please put my body I'm the earth Wthout a coffin encasing me Without a sheet enveloping me

When I die
When I die, put my body in the earth Without a coffin encasing me Without a sheet enveloping me Put me in the earth in jeans and a t shirt The same way I lived Tell my daughter she doent need my permission To stay out late To drink To marry the man she wants If I disapprove of him it's already too late Tell my son to do away with formality To buy dinner for the boy he likes To hold the door open for everyone And to never believe someone When they tell him he’s a bad man When I die, all my affairs might not be in order But someone please put my body I'm the earth Wthout a coffin encasing me Without a sheet enveloping me
