Sonny Boy Williamson Decoration Blues
Lord, I had a woman
She was nice lovin' in every way
Lord, I had a woman
She was nice lovin' in every way
Lord, but she died and left me
I have the blues on every Decoration Day
Lord, I hated to see her leave me
Because these are the last words my baby had to say
Lord, I hate to see her leave me
Because these are the last words my baby had to say
She told me to bring her some flowers
On every Decoration Day
People, you havin' a good time, now?
Just like the flowers that comes in May
People, you havin' a good time, now?
Just like the flowers that comes in May
Now, but sonny boy thinks about his baby
On every Decoration Day
Fare you well me
Baby, I ain't got no mo' to say
Fare you well me
Baby, I ain't got no mo' to say
Lord, but I'll always remember
I won't never forget Decoration Day
