Cemetery Blues - Lightning Hopkins

Written by：Robert Ellen

Poor grandpa

He died but that's the debt we all got to pay

Yeah we livin' now but every livin' people

Done

Whoa Lord he gotta died one day

Lord I followed the hearse down to the burial ground

See four men when they let poor grandpa down

Yes I followed the hearse down to the burial ground

Good time is long

See four men when he let it down

Yes you know it hurtin' me so bad

'Till I almost had a nervous breakdown

Yes she know it was sad when we got back home

Po' Grandma

That's who I felt sorry for

And myself too in a way

When we got back home

This is what Grandma say

She Son

Where's my bonnet and she had it on her head

You know it was sad time

Sad time when grandpa died

Whoa we didn't have no place to go

Grandma said your good times is over

Grandpa is gone

You'll never have no good times no more
