The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I hope the years that wrinkled up our faces

Have enjoyed us half as much as we did then

And if I should die before you jump your traces

Would you do one more favor for a friend

Remember all my songs and all their meanings

And remember how they helped you to believe

Then turn my body into ashes and take me with you when you leave

Then take my ashes to St Louie

Drop 'em in the Mississippi

Where the current's strong

I wanta flow back through the southland

I wanna know I'm going home

Well I ain't plannin' on it happenin'

No time soon now

And it ain't something that I sit around

And think about all the time

But me and you we've howled at

A lot of full moons now

And I'll admit that every now and then

The thought does cross my mind

So take my ashes to St Louie

Drop 'em in the Mississippi

Where the current's strong

I wanta flow back through the southland

I wanna know I'm going home

So take my ashes to St Louie

Drop 'em in the Mississippi

Where the current's strong

I wanta flow back through the southland

I wanna know I'm going home
