recording of 1952
from

Lord, I've got a woman, she's nice lovin' in ev'ryway
Lord, I've got a woman, she's nice lovin' in ev'ryway
You know she done died an left me, I had a blues on every decoration day
So sorry to see you to leave me, I hate to see my baby get away
So sorry to see you leave me, I hate to see my baby get away
I want ya to bring me some flowers, about ev'ry decoration day
Lord, I was walkin' 'round her bedside, these was the last the words my baby had to say
Lord, walkin' 'round the bedside, these was the last words my baby had to say
She said, "Bring me some flowers, be sure, honey on ev'ry decoration day"
__________
Note 1: decoration day, from the custom of decorating graves on this day. The last Monday in May observed as a legal holiday in most states of the U.S. in remembrance of war dead.
