Decoration Day No. 2

Peoples, I had a woman
She was nice a-lovin' kind to me in evry way
Peoples, I had a woman
She was nice a-lovin' kind to me in evry way
Lord, but she died an' left me
And so I have the blues on every 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
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 m-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 every Decoration Day

[Solo]

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 but I'll always remember
I won't never forget Decoration Day
