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, lord 

 If I get killed, if I get killed, please don't bury my soul 
 I p'fer 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 bolted meal 

 [bad word]  

 I went to the depot, I looked up at the stars 
 Cried, some train [bad word]  there'll be some walkin' done 

 My mama told me, just before she died 
 Lord, precious daughter, don't you be so wild 

 The Mississippi river, you know it's deep and wide 
 I can stand right here, see my babe from the other side 

 What you do to me baby it never gets outta me 
 I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
