peoples, i had a woman
she was nice a-lovin’ kind to me in ev’ryway
peoples, i had a woman
she was nice a-lovin’ kind to me in ev’ryway
lord, but she died an left me
and so i have the blues on ev’ry decoration day now

lord, as i was standin’ around her bed
these are the last words my baby had to say now
lord, as i was standin’ around her bed
these is the last words my baby had to say now
she said, ‘sonny boy i want you to bring me some flowers
on-a ev’ry decoration day’

so sorry to see her leave
i just hate to see my lord, take away now
so sorry see her leave
i just hate to see my lord, take away
now that’s why you hear my sing the blues
i sing ’em on ev’ry decoration day

(harmonica & instrumental)

ain’t we havin’ a good time, now?
missed her just like the flower that comes in may
ain’t we havin’ a good time, now?
just a-like the flower that comes in may
now i’ll always remember
i won’t never fo’get decoration day now.
