Death Room Blues #1
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.
Mmm, eehh, eehh, 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 forsaken me, people I haven't even got no home.
Mmm, feel like moanin' and cryin',
Mmm, feel like moanin' and cryin',
Death walked in and got my mother and that was the only dear friend of mine.
