Текст и слова песни John Denver – Forest Lawn
Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
With golden flowers over my head in a silver basket
The drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar
Sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store
I wanna go simply when I go
They ll give me a simple funeral there I know
With the casket lined in fleece
And the fireworks spelling out "Rest in Peace"
So take me when I m gone to Forest Lawn
Oh, lay me down in forest lawn they understand there
They have a heavenly choir in the military band there
Just put me in their care I ll find my comfort there
With sixteen planes in the last salute they ll drop a cross from a parachute
I wanna go simply when I go
They ll give me a simple funeral there I know
With a hundred strolling strings
And topless dancers with golden wings
Oh, take me when I m gone to forest lawn
Oooh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wild wood
Kindly leave a contribution in the pail
Be as simple and as trusting as a child would
And we ll sell you the church in the dale
To find a simple resting place is my desire
To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher
my likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic grass
While hidden weights and springs tip his hat to the mourners filing past
I wanna go simply when I go
They ll give me a simple funeral there I know
I ll lie beneath the sand
With piped-in tapes of Billy Graham
Oh, take me when I m gone to forest lawn
Rock of ages cleft for me for a slightly higher fee
Oh, take me when I m gone to Forest Lawn
With golden flowers over my head in a silver basket
The drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar
Sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store
I wanna go simply when I go
They ll give me a simple funeral there I know
With the casket lined in fleece
And the fireworks spelling out "Rest in Peace"
So take me when I m gone to Forest Lawn
Oh, lay me down in forest lawn they understand there
They have a heavenly choir in the military band there
Just put me in their care I ll find my comfort there
With sixteen planes in the last salute they ll drop a cross from a parachute
I wanna go simply when I go
They ll give me a simple funeral there I know
With a hundred strolling strings
And topless dancers with golden wings
Oh, take me when I m gone to forest lawn
Oooh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wild wood
Kindly leave a contribution in the pail
Be as simple and as trusting as a child would
And we ll sell you the church in the dale
To find a simple resting place is my desire
To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher
my likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic grass
While hidden weights and springs tip his hat to the mourners filing past
I wanna go simply when I go
They ll give me a simple funeral there I know
I ll lie beneath the sand
With piped-in tapes of Billy Graham
Oh, take me when I m gone to forest lawn
Rock of ages cleft for me for a slightly higher fee
Oh, take me when I m gone to Forest Lawn
