Second Handed Flowers

Written by Tom T. Hall

	  		
C                      F            C 
I was working in Miami for a day or two 
F         C                              G7 
I decided I'd look up a girl that I once knew 
C                                       F              C 
I bought some flowers and went to see a girl I used to know 
F               C                 G7           C 
The lady at her door said she had married long ago 

                                            F           C 
Times will change and towns will change but there I was alone 
F             C                            G7 
When suddenly I wondered would Susie be at home 
C                                F                 C 
So with the flowers in my hand I walked toward her gate 
F                  C              G7                  C 
Someone touched me on the arm and said you'll have to wait 

                                 F             C 
Then I noticed there were people standing in a line 
F                 C                                G7 
Some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine 
C                             F                C 
They explained that Susie had been in an awful crash 
F                 C              G7              C 
Doctors said that she had just a little while to last 

                              F                 C 
When I walked into her room I felt the sense of shame 
F                 C                            G7 
But I heard Susie whisper I'm awfully glad you came 
C                                F              C 
She had been the girl that I had always gone to see 
F                   C         G7                 C 
When someone that I cared for had been untrue to me 

                                 F                C 
I handed her the flowers and she gently kissed my hand 
F                 C                               G7 
She said don't be embarrassed for you know I understand 
C                               F                C 
I said goodbye and as I bent to kiss her fevered brow 
F                   C                 G7            C 
I heard her whisper thank you for the second handed flowers
