Well, when you're sitting there

In your silk upholstered chair

Talking to some rich folk that you know

Well, I hope you won't see me

In my ragged company

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 your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

I'll be in my basement room

With a needle and a spoon

And another girl to 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 US mail

Say it with dead flowers at my wedding

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

No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
