Boys In The Back-Room (From The Film: "Destry Rides Again")

See what the boys in the backroom will have

And tell them I'm having the same

Go see what the boys in the backroom will have

And give them the poison they name

And when I die don't spend my money

On flowers and my picture in a frame

[Chorus]

Just see what the boys in the backroom will have

And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried

And tell them I died of the same

And when I die don't buy a casket of silver

With the candles all aflame

Just see what the boys in the backroom will have

And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried

And tell them I died of the same

And when I die don't pay the preacher

For speaking of my glory and my fame

Just see what the boys in the backroom will have

And tell them I sighed and tell them I cried

And tell them I died of the same
