Ooh, ooh, ooh Please no cold headstone for me Id rather plant a sappling tree And lay my ashes neath its foot So through my body it takes root Then as the seasons come and go My monument and I will grow Wave bright green flags at summer sky And harbor birds that happen by The bronze each autumn bloom would spring And where the white coats winters bring A tree I marry with my dust Will husband me with rooted thrust Our seed will scatter far and wide Cross Gods fertile countryside So an arbor family will share our immortality A tree and me Ooh, ooh, ooh A tree and me
