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 an left me I have the blues on ev'ry *decoration day
Lord, I hated to see her leave me Because these are 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 Peoples, 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
