When I am gone sing for me no sad songs plant no flowers at my head
Feed the green grass that coveres me or a dew drop wet
And I hope you'll remember even if I forget

And sing me no sad songs and shed me no tears
[ dobro ]
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'm 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
And sing me no sad songs and shed me no tears
[ dobro ]
My eyes will be blinded...
Shed me no tears shed me no tears
