I was born to a desert of the sea and the sand
Where I met my lady, fairest in all the land
I got down on my knees, to beg for your hand
Then watched as that ring fell, and hit the sand
She broke my heart in the pouring rain
That's why I say these blue days, they won't go away
Said darling, when my time comes around
And it's time to put this cold body in the ground...
I want blue roses on my grave
I want something to remember those blue blues days
I want blue roses on my grave
When the sun comes out on that morning sky
I'll wipe those tears right from your eyes
As those blue, blue raindrops come falling down
You told me there's another man waiting in some bar downtown
That's why I want
Blue roses on my grave
I want
Blue roses on my grave
I want roses
(Blue) roses on my grave
Something to get those blues away
I know your heart is empty
I know it's gone cold
And it ain't got no room for this poor aching soul
So when my time comes
I hope your still around
To put those roses
And my dead body down
Blue roses on my grave
Just some memento to keep them blues away
I want blue (roses, roses) on my grave
I want something...
