Last Kind Word Blues Lyrics

Asylum Street Spankers Last Kind Word Blues

Well the last
Kind word
That I heard my daddy say
Mmmmm,
I said the last kind word
That I heard my daddy say

If I die
If I die
In the German war
Ooooh,
I want you to send my body
Send it to my mother-in-law

If I get killed,
If I get killed,
Well, Don't you inter my soul
I want you to leave my body
Where the buzzards can eat my whole

If you see,
Me coming
Across the rich man's field
Mmmmm,
If I don't bring you flowers
I'm gonna bring you roast to feed

Well the Mississippi River
It is so long and wide
Mmmmm,
I'm gonna sit right here
With my face on the other side

Well I went
To the depot
And I looked up at the Sun
Ooooh,
If the train don't come
There gonna be some walking done

My mother she told me
Well, just before she died
Ooooh guy,
why must you be so wild

What you do
To me baby
It never gets out of me
Ooooh,
I say I can't get away
Even across the deep blue sea
