My Buddy Blind Papa Lemon Lyrics
Mmmmmm, the mailman's brought misery to my head
Mmmmm, the mailman's brought misery to my head
When I received the letter, that my friend Lemon was dead
I was standing with my friends, they wouldn't mention his name
I said that cruel man that you call death done taken my buddy's name
It is too sad and lonesome, all we got to go
I said when death coming right back to your hand, he's knocking on your door
I had a buddy, I wanna know why you're looking so poor
See I got a notice in my mind and I sure got to go
I had a fear last night, calling in my sleep
I had a fear last night, calling in my sleep
I've been worryin' the whole day long and I feel I'm losin' sleep
You can hear some crying lord you can hear a little screaming, as Everybody's got to go
But it's too sad when you lose one of your best friends
You gotta take it like a spoonful
