Please marry me, Mona Lee
I need someplace to hide
If you can't bind my hands in wedding bands
Then I'll daisy chain my life away, my Lord
Then I'll daisy chain my life away, my Lord
I wish I had a place to stay, my Lord
I wish I had a place to stay

But no home in sight
That banners fly
Oh, scarlet, white, and blue
My brothers and me will hang from our family tree
As the boys who fought and died for you, my Lord
The boys who fought and died for you, my Lord
Just like screaming into the storm, my Lord
Just like screaming into the storm

So please find my bones
And mail them home
You know I miss my family
One bullet strayed
And my soul flew away
And it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord
Well, it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord
I'll daisy chain my life no more, my Lord
I'll daisy chain my life no more
