Lord, I had a woman
She was nice lovin’in ev’ry way
Lord, I had a woman
She was nice lovin’in ev’ry way
Lord, but she died an left me I have the blues on ev’ry *Decoration Day
Lord, I hated to see her leave me Because these are the last words
My baby had to say
Lord, I hate to see her leave me Because these are the last words
My baby had to say
She told me to bring her some flowers
On ev’ry Decoration Day
People, you havin’a good time, now?
Just like the flowers that comes in May
Peoples, you havin’a good time, now?
Just like the flowers that comes in May
Now, but Sonny Boy thinks about his baby
On ev’ry Decoration Day

Fare you well, mm Baby, I ain’t got no mo’to say
Fare you well, mm Baby, I ain’t got no mo’to say
Lord, but I’ll always remember
I won’t never forget, 'Decoration Day'.
