[Ab] [Eb]
[G] [Ab]
You know they tell me the graveyard, graveyard, is a low down dirty place.
You know they tell me the graveyard, graveyard, is a low down dirty place.
You're taking my baby to the graveyard, you're packing dirt in her face.
I'll follow that long black wagon, long black wagon down to the graveyard.
Watch them pack dirt in my baby's face.
I'll follow that long [Bbm] black wagon [Ab] to the graveyard.
Watch them pack dirt in my baby's face.
Mr.
Graveyard Digger, why you want to take my baby away?
I'll wave bye, bye, bye at my baby.
When they were letting her down in her grave.
Yes, I did.
Letting her down, letting her down in her grave.
I'm gonna bring you some flowers, baby, bring you some flowers.
On every decoration day, baby.
I'm gonna [Abm] decorate your [Ab] grave, baby.
On every decoration day.
Mmmmm.
Pour me, pour me, pour me.
Mmmmm.
Pour me, pour, pour me.
I ain't got nobody, baby.
I ain't got nobody, baby.
[Abm] All I got in the [Eb] world [Ab] have passed away.
My baby gone, have passed away.
Have passed away.
I'll be your baby.
