The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Dead Flowers Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
(mick jagger and keith richards)
Well, when youre sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well, I hope you wont see me in my ragged company
cause you know I could never be alone
Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when youre sitting back in your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on kentucky derby day
Ill be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the u.s. mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave
No, I wont forget to put roses on your grave
