Lord, I had a woman

She was nice lovin` in ev`ry way

Lord, I had a woman

She was nice lovin` in ev`ry way

Lord, but she died an left me

I have the blues on ev`ry *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 ev`ry Decoration Day



People, you havin` a good time, now?

Just like the flowers that comes in May

Peoples, you havin` a good time, now?

Just like the flowers that comes in May

Now, but Sonny Boy thinks about his baby

On ev`ry Decoration Day



(harmonica & mandolin & guitar)



Fare you well, mm

Baby, I ain`t got no mo` to say

Fare you well, mm

Baby, I ain`t got no mo` to say

Lord, but I`ll always remember

I won`t never forget, `Decoration Day`.





*Declaration Day
