If you should see me and I can't walk
Then if you should speak and I can't talk
Feel of me and if I'm cold
There's a shovel in the car
Cause I know you're a busy man,
So look on the end of the handle,
and you'll find attached two tens.
There's a phone number on the back of the
shovel of a dear friend of days gone by.
Call her and tell her to bring her sister.
I've already gave them two tens to cry.
The Lord's prayers engraved on a penny
in the left pocket of my coat.
I carried this with me for two reasons.
The last so I never was broke.
Oh I've had a lot of beautiful dreams
of things that might have been.
So please buy some pretty flowers
in my right pocket is my last two tens
I've made a little money in my time
but perhaps more than a lot of men
but I spent it all having a ball
with a few fairweather friends
but you know I brought nothing
And now that my journey ends,
me and this old world broke even,
since you have my last two tens.
