Sam ("Lightning") Hopkins - Cemetery Blues lyrics

Poor grandpa, he died but that's the debt we all got to pay Yeah, we livin' now but every livin' people done, whoa Lord, he gotta died one day Lord I followed the hearse down to the burial ground See four men when they let poor grandpa down Yes I followed the hearse down to the burial ground See four men when they let poor grandpa down Couldn't stand it, mercy, Lord Yes you know it hurtin' me so bad, till I almost had a nervous breakdown Yes she know it was sad when we got back home, po' grandma That's who I felt sorry for, and myself too in a way When we got back home, this is what grandma say She "Son, where's my bonnet" and she had it on her head You know it was sad time, sad time when grandpa died Whoa, we didn't have no place to go Grandma said "Your good times is over, grandpa is gone You'll never have no good times no more"
