When I am gone Sing for me no sad songs Plant no flowers at my head Be the green grass that covers me All dew-dropped wet And I hope you'll remember even if I forget CHORUS And sing me no sad songs and shed me no tears My eyes will be blinded my ears will not hear So sing me no sad songs and shed me no tears [ Dobro ] The stone at my head will say that I've gone That all my seeds have been sown But I'll leave with you my memory in silence to live on And I hope you'll remember even if I forget [REPEAT CHORUS] AD LIB: Shed me no tears shed me no tears
