Last Kind Words -Rhiannon Giddens
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 coming
Look across the rich man's field
If I don't bring you flowers
I'll bring you bolted meal
I went to the deadbolt
I looked up at the stars
Cried some train don't come
There'll be some walking done
Well my mama she told me
Just before she died
Lord my precious daughter
Don't you be so wild
The Mississippi River
You know way 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
