Forest Lawn (Live at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA - August/September 1974) - John Denver
Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
With golden flowers over my head in a silver basket
Let the drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar
While sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store
I wanna go simply when I go They'll give me a simple funeral there I know
With a casket lined in fleece and the 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 in the military band there
Just put me in their care I'll find my comfort there
With sixteen planes in a last salute they'll drop a cross in a parachute
I wanna 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 pail
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 tips it's hat to the mourners filing past
I wanna 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 for a slightly higher fee Oh take me when I'm gone to forest lawn
