Decoration Blues - Sonny Boy Williamson

Lord I had a woman

She was nice lovin' in ev'ry way

Lord I had a woman

She was nice lovin' in ev'ry way

Lord but she died an left me

I have the blues on ev'ry *Decoration Day

Lord I hated to see her leave me

Because these are the last words

My baby had to say

Lord I hate to see her leave me

Because these are the last words

My baby had to say

She told me to bring her some flowers

On ev'ry Decoration Day

People you havin' a good time now

Just like the flowers that comes in May

Peoples you havin' a good time now

Just like the flowers that comes in May

Now but Sonny Boy thinks about his baby

On ev'ry Decoration Day

Fare you well mm

Baby I ain't got no mo' to say

Fare you well mm

Baby I ain't got no mo' to say

Lord but I'll always remember

I won't never forget 'Decoration Day'
