Arthur “Big Boy” CrudupDeath Valley Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I went down in Death Valley
And nothin' but tombstones and dry bone
I went down in Death Valley
Nothin' but tombstones and dry bone
That's where poor me'll be
Lord, when I'm dead and gone
[Verse 2]
Now, if I should die
I should die before my time
Baby, if I should die
I should die before my time
I want you to bury my body
Down by that 'Frisco line
[Verse 3]
Now, bury me, mama
Low down in the sand
Oh, bury me, mama
Low down in the sand
Now, bury me, mama
Where I won't bother your next old man
[Verse 4]
Oh bye-bye, baby
I said goodbye
Oh bye-bye, baby
I said goodbye
Death Valley is my home
Mama, when I die
[Verse 5]
Tell all the women
Please come dressed in red
Tell all the women
Please come dressed in red
They going down sixty‑one highway
That's where the poor boy, he fell dead
[Verse 6]
Wear your patent leather slippers
Mama, put on your morning gown
Wear your patent leather slippers
Put on your morning gown
You gonna follow poor Crudup
Down to his burying ground
