Death Valley Blues Lyrics by Lightnin’ Slim

0

I'm just returning from down Death Valley
Where there tombstones and dry bones
Yes I'm just from down Death Valley
Been where tombstones and dry bones
That's where I want you to bury my body
Darlin' when I'm dead and gone
I wanna be six foot deep darlin'
With my arms across my chest
Mmmm six feet baby
With my arms across my chest
I don't want nobody weepin' and moanin' darlin'
Cause po' Lightnin' be gone to rest
All right let's blow awhile son...
Now when I'm dead and gone darlin'
Baby please don't wear no black
Mmmmmmmm
I don't want you to wear no black
Cause if you do darlin'
Po' Lightnin' he might come sneakin' back
