the borrachos (philippines) – poorman’s grave lyrics
[verse 1]
i know a man who had nothing
he was a poor man all his life
he lived in a shack by the roadside
with starving kids and a loving wife
[verse 2]
he went to church every sunday
he prays from morning until night, he said
“good lord, why have you forsaken me?
when everything i did i thought was right”
[pre+chorus]
now my life’s coming to an end
and there’s one thing i’m wishing for
all my life i have never sinned
so please don’t ignore
what i’m askin’ for
[chorus]
oh honey, when i die
dress me up in a coat and tie
give me a pair of boots
that i haven’t wore for a long timе
put me in a golden box
not a cross on a pile of rocks
bury mе where the grass is green
and the gates are shining
oh honey, when i die
give me a bed of roses
where i could lie
i’m gonna use up all the money that i saved
’cause i don’t wanna lie in a poor man’s grave
[verse 3]
i know a man who had nothing
he dreamed of satin sheets all his life
he lived and worked like a dog
l!cks up every shoes he sees to survive
[verse 4]
he comes home drunk every night
wakes up the kids and talked to his wife, he said
“honey, you have been so good to me
i only wish we had a better life”
[pre+chorus]
now my life’s coming to an end
and there’s one thing i’m wishing for
all my life i have never sinned
so please don’t ignore
what i’m askin’ for
[chorus]
oh honey, when i die
dress me up in a coat and tie
give me a pair of boots
that i haven’t wore for a long time
put me in a golden box
not a cross on a pile of rocks
bury me where the grass is green
and the gates are shining
oh honey, when i die
give me a bed of roses
where i could lie
i’m gonna use up all the money that i saved
’cause i don’t wanna lie in a poor man’s grave
