Burying Ground Blues - James Clark Leroy Foster Muddy Waters Ransom Knowling

I got a letter this mornin'

This is the way my letter read

Letter this mornin'

This is the way my letter read

It says you better come home muddy water

Tell me your baby's dead

Started to write

But I believe I'll go myself

No I ain't gonna write

I believe I'll go myself

Letter too slow

Telegram makin' down

Said I wasn't going

To my baby's burying ground

Tell me what you mean

I ain't going

To my baby's burying ground

I was standing right there

When the grave digger let her down

Church bell was tolling

My muddy hearse was driving low

I didn't say it

I didn't say it

Church bell was tolling

My muddy hearse was driving low

Gotta be a rushing day

When I won't see my baby's face anymore
