They taken my baby to the graveyard, they packed dirt in her face

I followed that long black wagon, long black wagon down to the graveyard, watched them pack dirt in my baby's face

Mister graveyard digger, why you wanna take my babe away?

I waved bye-bye-bye at my baby, when they were letting' her down in her grave (Spoken: Yes, I did)
Let me down, letting' her down in her grave

I'm gonna bring you some flowers, baby, bring you some flowers, on every Decoration Day, baby
Gonna decorate your grave, baby, on every Decoration Day

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, poor me, poor me, poor me
Mmmmmmm poor me, mmm poor boy, me, poor me
I ain't got nobody, baby, I ain't got nobody, baby, all I got in the world have passed away

My baby gone, have passed away, have passed away, I'll be here, baby (fade)
