i had a man
who's good and kind in his way
yeah i had a man

and i sing the blues on every decoration day
lord i was standing
standing 'round my baby's bed

when your soul don't come back

i hung my head and cried
said

said

'cause everybody's gotta go

that sunday
i just hung my head and cried
so sad
that sunday
when my lord he take my baby
why

and i sing the blues on every decoration day
on every decoration day
