[Verse 1]
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
Well, you know I could never be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
[Chorus]
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
Hey
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
[Chorus]
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. 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
[Audience Applause]
[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
We've got a Blues one for you called "Back of My Hand."
