Decoration Day Lyrics - More Real Folk Blues - Sonny Boy Williamson Ii

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

I won't never forget, 'Decoration Day'.
