So many horse and buggies was standin' around

So many horse and buggies was a standin' around

When they take my baby to the buryin' ground

When they take his baby to the buryin' ground

He went to the preacher and put his hand on the preacher's shoulder

When they went to let her down here' what he told the preacher

You done taken my baby to the buryin' ground

You done taken my baby to the buryin' ground

You done break my heart lord when you let her down

He goes to the head board as her body was goin' home

And fell down on his knees

And here' what he said to his baby

Yes he went to the head board fell down on his knees

Ah he went to the head board fell down on his knees

If you would speak one word babe give my heart some ease

He goes back home to get him a bucket of water and he goes to the well

You don't miss your water 'til your well goes dry

Ah miss your water 'til your well goes dry

You don't miss pretty mama shake your hand goodbye

Spoken he goes back home wanders 'round in the yard

Don't your house look lonesome when your woman done gone

Don't your house look lonesome when your woman done gone

I a feel mistreated but I won't let on
