Lyric Decoration Day

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
