The lyrics are by the bard of the Wobblies labor movement, Joe Hill. Apparently, it was found on the cot in his cell after he'd been executed.

Joe Hill’s Last And Final Will

My Will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing To divide
My kin don't need to fuss and moan—
"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone["]
My body?—Oh!—If I could choose
I would want to ashes it reduce,
And let The merry breezes blow
My dust to where some flowers grow

Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again
