Last Kind Words

The last kind words I heard my dad 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 prefer, just leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole When you see me comin', look 'cross the rich man's field If I don't bring you flowers I'll bring you [?] I went to the deadbolt, I looked up at the stars Cried some train don't come, there'll be some walkin' done Well my mama, she told me, just before she died Lord, my precious daughter, don't you be so wry The Mississippi River, you know it's deep and wide I can stand right here, see my babe from 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
