Oh, every Decoration Day
Oh, every Decoration Day
I go out to the cemetery to beautify my baby's grave
In my baby's lifetime she was kind in every way
In my baby's lifetime she was kind in every way
That's why I have the blues on every Decoration Day
I tries to forget her but love does not work that way
I tries to forget her but love does not work that way
It brings back memories of every Decoration Day
[Solo]
These are the last words that my baby had to say
These are the last words that my baby had to say
She want me to prepare to meet her on resurrection day
They tell me that graveyard is a low-down dirty place
They tell me that graveyard is a low-down dirty place
Baby, let you down easy, and pack dirt right in your face
