Roscoe Holcomb
graveyard blues live
I got up this morning,
With the blues all around my bed.
I got up this morning,
With blues all around my bed.
I had a dream last night,
The one that I loved was dead.
God I went to the graveyard this morning,
And I fell down on my knees.
God I went to the graveyard this morning,
And I fell down on my knees.
Asked that good ol' gravedigger,
To give back my real good man please.
Lord that gravedigger looked me, sweet mama,
Right squarely in the eye.
Lord that gravedigger looked me, sweet mama,
Right squarely in the eye.
He said sorry pretty woman,
But your man has said his last goodbye.
Then I wrung my hand,
Said I wanted to scream.
Then I wrung my hand,
Said I wanted to scream.
I woke up this morning,
And found it was only a dream.
