I spent my life playing dice and the horses, From Saratoga to Timbuktu, and now that I'm running my last mile honey, please make my wish come true.
All I want is a lavender coffin, white cardinias all around swing band playing a funeral march, and lower me into the holy ground.
All I want is eleven sweet maidens, they're all singing that youve got to be hip. Singing around my new lavander coffin, and a swinging on the funeral stairs.
(Saint Peter) I'm a comin' I'm a comin', yeah, to stay, I ain't been bad, so open up those gates on my judgement day.
Hear those angels so solomny singing, Gabriel blowing a mournful sound. All I want is a lavender coffin when they lower me into the holy ground.
