decoration day

Lyrics

i had a man, who's good and kind in his way, yeah i had a man, sweet and kind in his way, lord, he died and he left me, and i sing the blues on every decoration day, lord i was standing, standing 'round my baby's bed, well, my lord, my lord he take my baby away, why, why, why, why, when your soul don't come back, lord, i hung my head and cried, said, now baby please please don't worry, said, now baby please please don't worry, 'cause everybody's gotta go, why, why, why, why, the best man, god knows, i ever had, all day, that sunday, i just hung my head and cried, so sad, that sunday, when my lord he take my baby, why, why, why, why, i need my baby on some old lonesome day, and i sing the blues on every decoration day, on every decoration day
