JUST A ROSE WILL DO



When time shall come for my leaving

When I bid you adieu

Don't spend your money for flowers

Just a rose will do.

Chorus:

I'll go to a beautiful garden

At last when life's work is through.

Don't spend your money for flowers

Just a rose will do.

I'll need no organization

To make a bid to-do,

I'll need no fine decorations,

Just a rose will do.

Just have an old-fashioned preacher

To preach a sermon or two

Don't spend your money for flowers

Just a rose will do.
