Lyrics:
And when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair,
Talking to some rich folks that you know,
Well, I hope you don't see me
In my ragged company
All that you know, I could never be alone,
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground,
Send me dead flowers every morning,
Send me dead flowers by the mail,
Send me dead flowers to my wedding,
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave,
And when you're sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac,
Making bets on Kentucky Derby days,
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon,
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground,
Send me dead flowers every morning,
Send me dead flowers by the mail,
Send me dead flowers to my wedding,
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave,
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground,
Send me dead flowers every morning,
Send me dead flowers by the mail,
Send me dead flowers to my wedding,
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

"The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners."
The dude abides..
About 12 years ago, I sang this on stage with my friend Willie a couple of times. I was having a bad time, and I wish I had realized that he was too. I moved out of the country a couple of months later. In 2017 I learned he committed suicide. I'm sorry, Willie. Thanks for singing with me.
My father died today, I loved him. We will abide. ❤
The Rolling Stones did a great cover of this song 🤙💯🇺🇸
8 year olds dude
I remember around 1981 or so, when Willy and Waylon did Pancho and Lefty, my Dad schooled me about Townes Van Zandt. The Old Man's been gone a while, and while he was career Navy, Vietnam vet, and one of the hardest working men I've ever met, I drifted into drugs and crime. I've been clean for a while now, and every day I gain a deeper appreciation for everything he taught me about music. For a high school dropout that fled the reservation for the Navy at 17 in 1955, that man knew more about American music than some Berkeley (Boston music college) professors I've met. I'll be playing my acoustic for him and Mom Sunday, where they rest near the pond where I grew up. This will definitely be on the playlist.
This song expresses genuine deep sadness and pain. Townes Van Zandt lived the pain this song. He plays it, expresses it, and sings it beautifully with deep soul.
Stones wrote it. And their version is great. But the heart, soul, and pain that this Van Zandt puts Into it is amazing.
If this song isn't played at my funeral ..I'm not going ..
Thank you, Coen Brothers! The Dude abides!
The Dude brought most of us here
Woke up with this legendary song playing in my mind...
Roadsongs
Well, sometimes you eat the bar, sometimes the bar.......hey man!
Great version. It only reminds me how great the original is. Kudos to Rolling Stones for so many legendary songs, including this one.
My favorite rendition of the song, all performers considered.
And when you're sitting there
credits to the chillest movie ever, best version
Great ending song for Big Lebowski
