hadarondah@aol.com Lyr ADD: Forest Lawn (Tom Paxton) (24) Lyrics, please: Forest Lawn 01 Feb 97


My husband has been trying to remember the lyrics/artist for a song about Forest Lawn.

Some of the parts we almost remember:

Lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket Put golden flowers o'er my head in a silver basket Let the drum and bugle corps play taps while cannons roar and 16 liveried employees sell souvenirs at the funeral store...

Rock of Ages cleft for me In a slightly higher key...

Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn!...

And a system of hidden weights, levers, & springs Tip my hat to the mourners fileing past...

Anybody have any hints?

Mary H
