Coffin Blues
|
|
Daddy oh daddy, won't you answer me please
|
Daddy oh daddy, won't you answer me please
|
All day I stood by your coffin, tryin' to give my poor heart ease
|
|
I rubbed my hands over your head and whispered in your ear
|
I rubbed my hands over your head and whispered in your ear
|
And I want my man to know that your mama's near
|
|
Mmm... (hummed chorus)
|
|
You told me that you loved me, and I believed what you said
|
You told me that you loved me, and I believed what you said
|
And I wish that I could fall here across your coffin dead
|
|
When I left the undertakers, I couldn't help but cry
|
When I left the undertakers, I couldn't help but cry
|
And it hurt me so bad, to tell the man I love goodbye.
