Decoration Day

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
