Death Room Blues (-1) (Album Version)

Death Room Blues - Blind Willie McTell

Tombstones is my pillow cold grounds is my bed

Tombstones is my pillow cold grounds is my bed

The blue skies is my blanket and the moonlight is my spread

Early one morning death walked into my room

Early one morning death walked into my room

Oh well it took my dear mother early one morning soon

She left me moanin' and cryin' moanin' like a turtledove

She left me moanin' and cryin' moanin' like a turtledove

Death walked in and got my dear mother

And the only friend I loved

Mmmm eehh

Cryin' Lord have mercy and she was the only friend I loved

Ever since my mother died and left me all alone

Ever since my mother died and left me all alone

All my friends have forsake me people I haven't even got no home

Mmmm feel like moanin' and cryin'

Mmmm feel like moanin' and cryin'

Death walked in a got my mother and that was the only dear friend of mine
