Verse 1:
I have traveled this world over
I have rambled all my days
When my journeys have all ended
Place some flowers on my grave

Chorus:
Local flowers, just some daisies
WIldwood flowers from the hills
Where I will spend my eternal hours
Lay me down with local flowers

Verse 2:
Please don't buy those red carnations
I don't need the lilies fair
Just go walking on the mountain
Gather what is blooming there

Verse 3:
Rosmary means that you'll remember
Clover's sweet as, the love we shared
Myrtle says that you will miss me
Rambling roses, say you cared

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4:
Let the birds sing from the tree tops
Let the grass grow where it may
No arrangements, no bright ribbons
Just a simple, wild bouquet

Repeat Chorus
