John Lee Hocker - Decoration Day Blues

Текст песни

Peoples, I had a woman
She was nice and kind to me in every way
Peoples, I had a woman
She was nice and kind to me in every way
Lord, she died, she left me I sing the blues on every Decoration Day
Lord, I was standin' 'round my baby’s bedside
When my Lord taken my baby away
Lord, I was standin' 'round my baby’s beside
When my Lord taken my baby away
Well, well, when you so doggone bad
Lord, I hung my head and cried, yes, so sorry
She said, «Daddy please don’t worry»
'Cause everybody’s got to go"
Daddy please don’t worry
'Cause everybody’s got to go Well, well, well, well, Lord, the best woman
God knows I ever had, all this hurtin'
I just hung my head and cried
Yes, it was a sad day with me So sad that day, so sad, that day
When my Lord taken my baby away
Well, well, well, I’ll meet my baby
On some old lonesome day
