Oh-oh! I almost forgot my all-time favorite flower song. The one referred to in the above blue clicky--Carter family was credited with this, but I believe they stole it from a Cornish or Welsh miner.

GIVE ME THE ROSES WHILE I LIVE
------------------------------
Heard on A Prairie Home Companion
Performed by Greg Brown and Kate Mackenzie
Done by the Carter Family
Written by a Welsh Miner

   D                                    A
  Wonderful things of folks are said, when they have passed away.
    D                               A
  Flowers adorn the narrow bed, and over the sleeping lay.
  
  CHORUS:
   G                  D             E                A  A7
  Give me the roses while I live, trying to cheer me on,
  D                                  A                  D
  Useless the flowers that you give, after the soul is gone.
  
  D                                   A
  Folks are forgiven when folks lie, cold in the narrow bed.
   D                                 A
  Let us forgive them ere they die, now should the words be said.
  
  CHORUS
  
    D                                 A
  Praises are heard not by the dead, roses they cannot see.
   D                                     A
  Let us not wait till souls have fled, tenderest friends to be.  

CHORUS, REPEAT CHORUS

ADDITIONAL VERSE:

Let us not wait to do good deeds, till they have passed away.
Now is the time to sow good seeds, while here on earth we stay.

OTHER ADD'L VERSE:

Give me the roses while I live. Don't wait until I die
To spread the roses o'er my grave, to see as you pass it by.
