Peoples, I had a woman
She was nice a-lovin' kind to me in ev'ryway
Peoples, I had a woman
She was nice a-lovin' kind to me in ev'ryway
Lord, but she died an left me
And so I have the blues on ev'ry 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 now
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 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 ev'ry Decoration Day

(harmonica & instrumental)

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 I'll always remember
I won't never fo'get Decoration Day now.
