- Annie’s other song Lyrics
Album: Evening With John Denver This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Take Me To Tomorrow? album, and on the Changes album. It has also been released on the An Evening With John Denver album as a live version. Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket Let the drum and bugle corp play taps while the cannons roar And sixteen libertied employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store I want to go simply when I go They'll give me a simple funeral there I know With a casket lined in fleece And fireworks spelling out rest in peace Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn they understand there They have a heavenly choir and a military band there Just put me in their care I'll find my comfort there With sixteen planes and a last salute they'll drop across in a parachute I want to 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 Oh, come, come, come, come Come to the church in the wild wood Kindly leave a contribution in the pale 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 it's hat to the mourners filing passed I want to 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 Forest's lightly higher fee Oh take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn Amen Words and music by Tom Paxton
