This is an old Carter family song. Is this what you are looking for?

Give Me The Roses While I Live

1.
Wonderful things of folks are said
When they have passed away
Roses adorn the narrow bed
Over the sleeping clay

cho.
Give me the roses while I live
Trying to cheer me on
Useless are flowers that you give
After the soul is gone

2.
Kind words are useless when folks lie
Cold in a narrow bed
Don't wait till death to speak kind words
Now should the words be said

3.
Let us not wait to do good deeds
Till they have passed away
Now is the time to sow good seeds
While here on earth we stay
