Yeah I had a man, sweet and kind in his way
Lord, he died and he left me
And I sing the blues on every decoration day
Lord I was standing, standing 'round my baby's bed
Well, my lord, my lord he take my baby away
Why, why, why, why
When your soul don't come back
Lord, I hung my head and cried
Said, now baby please please don't worry
Said, now baby please please don't worry
'cause everybody's gotta go
Why, why, why, why
The best man, God knows, I ever had
All day, that sunday
I just hung my head and cried
So sad, that sunday
When my lord he take my baby
Why, why, why, why
I need my baby on some old lonesome day
And I sing the blues on every decoration day
On every decoration day
I had a man, who's good and kind in his way Yeah I had a man, sweet and kind in his way Lord, he died and he left me And I sing the blues on every decoration day Lord I was standing, standing 'round my baby's bed Well, my lord, my lord he take my baby away Why, why, why, why When your soul don't come back Lord, I hung my head and cried Said, now baby please please don't worry Said, now baby please please don't worry 'cause everybody's gotta go Why, why, why, why The best man, God knows, I ever had All day, that sunday I just hung my head and cried So sad, that sunday When my lord he take my baby Why, why, why, why I need my baby on some old lonesome day And I sing the blues on every decoration day On every decoration day Explain Request ×
