Graveyard Dream Blues - Bessie Smith Jimmy Jones

Blues on my mind blues all around my head

Blues on my mind and blues all around my head

I dreamed last night that the man that I love was dead

I went to the graveyard fell down on my knees

I went to the graveyard fell down on my knees

And I asked the gravedigger to give me back my real good man please

The gravedigger look me in the eye

The gravedigger look me in the eye

Said I'm sorry lady but your man has said his last goodbye

I wrung my hands and I wanted to scream

I wrung my hands and I wanted to scream

But when I woke up I found it was only a dream
