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 and left me, I have the blues on ev'ry decoration day

Lord, I hated to see her leave, because these were 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
People 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, baby, I ain't got no mo' to say
Fare you well, baby, I ain't got no mo' to say
Lord, but I always rememeber, I won't never forget decoration day

Play along boy!
