The last kind words I heard my daddy say
Lord, the last kind words I heard my daddy say
If I die, if I die in the German war
I want you to send my body, send it to my mother Lord
If I get killed, if I get killed please don't bury my soul
I'd perfer to just be left, let the buzzards eat me whole
When you see me coming, look 'cross the rich man's field
And if I don't bring you flour, I'll bring you bolted meal
I went to the depot, I looked up at the stars
Cried if a train don't come, tha'll be some walkin' done
My mama told me, just before she died, "Lord, stay safe daughter don't you be so wild"
The Mississippi River, you know it's deep and wide
I can stand right there, see my babe on the other side
What you do to me baby, it never gets out of me
I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
Lord, the last kind words I heard my daddy say
If I die, if I die in the German war
I want you to send my body, send it to my mother Lord
If I get killed, if I get killed please don't bury my soul
I'd perfer to just be left, let the buzzards eat me whole
When you see me coming, look 'cross the rich man's field
And if I don't bring you flour, I'll bring you bolted meal
I went to the depot, I looked up at the stars
Cried if a train don't come, tha'll be some walkin' done
My mama told me, just before she died, "Lord, stay safe daughter don't you be so wild"
The Mississippi River, you know it's deep and wide
I can stand right there, see my babe on the other side
What you do to me baby, it never gets out of me
I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
