I wired my baby some flowers
|
Thinkin' I wouldn't get there in time
|
I wired my baby some flowers
|
Thinkin' I wouldn't get there in time
|
The next telegram I received
|
Hoo-well-well, that my baby was dyin'
|
|
I walked around the casket
|
And looked down in my baby's face
|
I walked around the casket
|
And looked down in my baby's face
|
Then I was soon only wonder
|
Hoo-well-well, what good woman would take her place?
|
|
The church bells began to tone
|
Hearse wheels was rollin' slower
|
The church bells began to tone
|
Hearse wheels was rollin' slower
|
They are taking my baby to a place
|
Hoo-well-well, where I won't see her no mo'
|
|
Hearse driver, Mr. Undertaker (Mr. Undertaker)
|
Mr. Hearse man, please drive slow
|
Hearse driver, Mr. Hearseman
|
Mr. Hearseman, please drive slow
|
Where you are takin' my baby
|
Hoo-well-well, now I swear we all just got to go
|
|
Then I watched the undertaker
|
Slowly, let her down
|
Then I watched the undertaker
|
Slowly, let her down
|
If my baby don't go no further
|
Hoo-well-well, I know she's six feet in the ground.
