Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair

Talkin' to some rich folk that you know


Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company


Hell, you know I could never be alone



Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground


And you can send me dead flowers every morning


Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding


And I won't forget to put roses on your grave



Well when you're sitting back in that rose pink Cadillac


Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

Ah, I'll be in my room with my needle and my spoon


And another girl she gonna take my pain away






Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground


And you can send me dead flowers every morning


Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding


And I won't forget to put roses on your grave



Take me down little Susie, take me down


I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning


Send me dead flowers by the Mail


Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave


And, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
