Graveyard Blues Songtext
von Roscoe Holcomb

I got up this morning
With the blues all around my bed
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I got up this morning
With the blues all around my bed
I had a dream last night
The one that I loved was dead


I went to the graveyard this morning
And I fell down on my knees
I went to the graveyard this morning
And I fell down on my knees
Asked that good old gravedigger
To give me back my real good man, please

That gravedigger looked me sweet mama
Rasped quietly in her ear
That gravedigger looked me sweet mama
Rasped quietly in her ear
He said, "I′m sorry pretty woman
But your man has said his last goodbye"

And I wrung my hands
Said I wanted to scream
And I wrung my hands
Said I wanted to scream
I woke up this morning
And found it was only a dream
