Cemetery Blues |
| Poor grandpa, he died but that’s the debt we all got to pay |
| Yeah, we livin' now but every livin' people done, whoa Lord, he gotta died one |
| day |
| Lord I followed the hearse down to the burial ground |
| See four men when they let poor grandpa down |
| Yes I followed the hearse down to the burial ground |
| See four men when they let poor grandpa down |
| Couldn’t stand it, mercy, Lord |
| Yes you know it hurtin' me so bad, till I almost had a nervous breakdown |
| Yes she know it was sad when we got back home, po' grandma |
| That’s who I felt sorry for, and myself too in a way |
| When we got back home, this is what grandma say |
| She «Son, where’s my bonnet» and she had it on her head |
| You know it was sad time, sad time when grandpa died |
| Whoa, we didn’t have no place to go |
| Grandma said «Your good times is over, grandpa is gone |
| You’ll never have no good times no more» |
