i was a stranger at this place
and i’m lookin’ for my mother’s grave
i’m in a stranger place
and i’m lookin’ for my mother’s grave
well, it seems like to me
hoo-hoo-well, some almost go to wail

i was at mother’s grave
when they put my mother ‘way
i was at mother’s grave
when they put my mother ‘way
and i can’t find no one
hoo-hoo-well, to take her place

i thought aft’ my mother was put away
i thought my wife would take her place
after mama was put away
i thought my wife would take her place
i show you different in mother an wife
hoo-hoo-well, my wife done throwed me away

i wished i could find someone
to take my mother’s place
i wished i could find someone
to take my mother’s place
if i can’t find no one
hoo-hoo, well you will find me at her grave

i’m standin’ on my mother’s grave
and i wished i could seen her face
i’m standin’ on my mother’s grave
and i wished i could seen her face
i be glad when that day comes
hoo-hoo, well, when it be due die me away.

(guitar & washboard)
