Cooling Board Blues

Cooling Board Blues - Blind Willie McTell

Undertaker undertaker please drive it slow

You're takin' the one I love

Won't bring her back no more

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door

Undertaker undertaker

Don't drive it fast

You're takin' the one I love

Seem like every minute going to be my last

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door

When I walked up to her bedside

Her breath was gettin' low

She looked at me and said

Honey I can't love you no more

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door

I tried to help her people

I did everything that I could

Keep one out of a million that meant me any good

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door

My heart struck sorrow

My tears falling down

Watching flow back the ground

Slow and I let it down

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door

Well I know it's not over

She will smile on face again

Swear to God I loved her

For a girl and my only friend

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door

Not news paper man

Don't play it so self

Well I gotta a little pity sweety thing I had

Don't a man feel bad

When his baby's on the coolin' board

Don't a man feel well

When I heard she drops up to his door
