LAST KIND WORDS BLUES
 I
The last kind words I heared my daddy say,
Lord, the last kind words I heared my daddy say,

"If I die, if I die in the German war,
I want you to send my body, send it to my mother-in-law".

If I get killed, if I get killed, please DON'T TELL a soul.
I cry, just leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole.

When you see [bad word] , look 'cross the rich man's field.
If I don't bring you flour, I'll bring you boulted meal.

I went to the depot, I looked up at the sun.
Cried, some train [bad word]  GON' be some walkin' done.

My mama told me just before she died.
Lord, SAID, "GOOD daughter, don't you WEEP AND WHINE."

The Mississippi River, you know IS deep and wide.
I can stand right here, see my BABE'S ON the other side.

What you do to me, baby, it never gets OUT OF me.
I may not see you, HAVE TO cross the deep blue sea.
