Death Room Blues [#1] Lyrics
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
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
Oh well it took my dear mother, early one morning soon
She left me moanin' and cryin', moanin' like a turtledove
Death walked in and got my dear mother, and the only friend I loved
Cryin' Lord have mercy, and she was the only friend I loved
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'
Death walked in a got my mother, and that was the only dear friend of mine
