Lyrics

Verse 1
When you are 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
Cause you know I could never be alone

Chorus
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 U.S. mail
Send me dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Verse 2
When you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Well I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another heart to take my pain away

Chorus

VERSE 3 (GUITAR SOLO)

CHORUS + ONE LINE Outro
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 U.S. mail,
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
