| Tombstones is my pillow, cold grounds is my bed
|
| Tombstones is my pillow, cold grounds is my bed
|
| The blue skies is my blanket, and the moonlight is my spread
|
| Early one morning, death walked into my room
|
| Early one morning, death walked into my room
|
| Oh well it took my dear mother, early one morning soon
|
| She left me moanin' and cryin', moanin' like a turtledove
|
| She left me moanin' and cryin', moanin' like a turtledove
|
| Death walked in and got my dear mother, and the only friend I loved
|
| Mmmm… eehh…
|
| Cryin' Lord have mercy, and she was the only friend I loved
|
| Ever since my mother died and left me all alone
|
| Ever since my mother died and left me all alone
|
| All my friends have forsake me, people I haven’t even got no home
|
| Mmmm… feel like moanin' and cryin'
|
| Mmmm… feel like moanin' and cryin'
|
| Death walked in a got my mother, and that was the only dear friend of mine |
