Last Kind Word Blues Lyrics by Geeshie Wiley

American Epic: The Collection

1930

[Verse 1]
The last kind words I heared my daddy say
Lord, the last kind words I heared my daddy say
[Verse 2]
If I die, if I die in the German war
I want you to send my body, send it to my mother, lord
[Verse 3]
If I get killed, if I get killed, please don't bury my soul
I p'fer just leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole
[Verse 4]
When you see me comin' look 'cross the rich man's field
If I don't bring you flour I'll bring you bolted meal
[Verse 5]
I went to the depot, I looked up at the sun
Cried, some train don't come, there'll be some walkin' done
[Verse 6]
My mama told me, just before she died
Lord, precious daughter, don't you be so wild
[Verse 7]
The Mississippi river, you know it's deep and wide
I can stand right here, see my babe from the other side
[Verse 8]
What you do to me baby it never gets outta me
I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
