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.
