Graveyard Blues

Graveyard Blues - John Lee Hooker (約翰·李·胡克)

You know they tell me the graveyard graveyard

Is a low down dirty place

You know they tell me the graveyard graveyard

Is a low down dirty place

They takin' my baby to the graveyard

And they pack dirt in her face

I followed that long black wagon

Long black wagon down to the graveyard

Watched them pack dirt in my baby's face

I followed that long black wagon to the graveyard

Watched them pack dirt in my baby's face

Mr Graveyard Digger

Why you wanna take my baby away

I waved bye-bye bye at my baby

As they was lettin' her down in her grave (yes I did)

Lettin' her down lettin' her down in her grave

I'm gonna bring you some flowers baby

Bring you some flowers

On every decoration day baby

Gonna decorate your grave baby

On every decoration day

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm

Poor me poor me poor me

Mmmmm poor me poor poor me

Poor me

I ain't got nobody baby

I ain't got nobody baby

All I got in the world

Have passed away

My baby gone

Have passed away
