Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1923) (Document 5322)
Blues on my mind, blues all around my bed
Blues on my mind, blues all around my bed
Had a dream last night the man I love was dead
I went to the graveyard, fell down on my knees
I went to the graveyard, fell down on my knees
I asked the gravedigger to give me back my good man please
The gravedigger looked me in my eye
The gravedigger looked me in my eye
Said, "Sorry for you lady, your man's said his last goodbye"
