Song Give Me Flowers While I'm Living - Perry Smith In Cold Blood (A sangre fría) Smoky Mountains

"Give Me Flowers While I'm Living" was written by Bigger, Elvin / Certain, Louise / Flatt, Gladys Stacey.

In this world today while we're living 
some folks say the worst of us they can
But when we are dead and in our caskets 
they always slip some lilies in your hand
Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living
and let me enjoy them while I can
Pleae don't wait till I'm ready to be buried and then slip some lilies in my hand
[ dobro ]
In this world is where we need the flowers a kind word to help us get along
If you can't give me flowers while I'm living
Then please don't throw 'em when I'm gone
Won't you give me my flowers...

En este mundo; hoy, mientras estamos vivos
algunos dicen de nosotros lo peor que pueden decir 
pero cuando estemos muertos y dentro de nuestras cajas 
vendrán a deslizar flores en nuestra mano. 
Querrías tú darme flores ahora, 
mientras aún estoy viviendo...
