Second Handed Flowers
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Tom T. Hall

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

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

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

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

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