I had a man, who's good
And kind in his way
Yeah, I had a man
Sweet and kind in his wayLord, he died and he left me
And I sing the blues
On every Decoration DayLord I was standing
Standing 'round my baby's bed
Well, my Lord, my Lord
He take my baby awayWhy, why, why, why?
When your soul don't come back
Lord, I hung my head and criedSaid, 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 hadAll day, that Sunday
I just hung my head and cried
So sad, that Sunday
When my Lord, He take my babyWhy, 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
