Lyrics

Lord, I had a woman
She was nice, lovin' and kind to me in every way
I had a woman
She was nice, lovin' and kind to me in every way
But the little girl died and left me
I have the blues on every Decoration Day
I was standin' round her bedside
To hear the last words my baby had to say
'Round her bedside
These are the last words my baby had to say
"Sonny boy, please bring me some flowers
On every Decoration Day"
So sorry to leave you
I just hate to see the good Lord take her away
So sorry to leave you
But I know the good Lord must take her away
But I always will remember, and I won't
Forget Decoration Day
Written by: Sonny Boy Williamson II
