Remember Me
Reverend Horton Heat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please remember me
When the sun goes down
When the moon is round
Remember me

please remember me
When the last call rings
When the fat lady sings

remember me (x20)
Oh, remember me

please remember me
When the patrons laugh
That's my epitaph

remember me (x20)
Oh, remember me

please remember me
When I dust and dash
With a final cymbol crash





remember me (x20)
Oh, remember me
