SEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT CLEAN
Well, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
Oh, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean
There's two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line

Gonna take me to my burying ground
Well, my heart stopped beating my hands are cold
Well, my heart stopped beating and my hands are cold
Well, my heart stopped beating and my hands are cold
I believe just what the Bible told
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?

Then you know that the poor boy's in the ground
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Well, you dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Let me down the golden chain
Have you ever heard the church bell tone?
Ever heard the church bell tone?

THE WORLD IS GONE WRONG
Strange things have happened,
Like never happened before.
My baby told me
I would have to go.
I can't be good no more,
Like I once did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.
Feel bad this morning,
Ain't got no home.
No use to worry,
'Cause the whole world is goin' wrong,
I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.

I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
'Cause the world is goin' wrong.
When you've been good,
You can't do no more,
Just tell her kindly,
"There's the front door."
I can't be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,
Honey, 'cause the world is goin' wrong.
Pack up my suitcase,
And give me my hat,

I ain't comming back.

Honey, like I once did before.
I can't be good no more, baby,

BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE
I have the blues before sunrise
With tears standin' in my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise
Tears standin' in my eyes
It's such a miserable feelin'
A feelin' I do despise
Seems like everybody
Everybody's down on me
Seems like everybody
Everybody's down on me
I am gonna cast my problems
Down in the deep blue sea
Oh, today's been
Such a long lonesome day
Today's been, day's been
Such a long lonesome day
I've been just sittin' here thinkin'
With my mind a million miles away
The blue starts rollin'
And they stopped in the front of my door
Blues are rollin'
And they stopped at my front door
I'm gonna change my way of livin'

MIDNIGHT BLUES
Well, the clock is strikin' twelve
Baby, somebody's gotta go
I said the clock is strikin' twelve
Baby, somebody's gotta go
Gee, but I know I'm gonna miss you, honey
That's one thing I know
When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis
It's one o'clock in San Antone
Twelve o'clock in Memphis, baby
One o'clock in San Antone
When it's midnight in California
Oh, I'll be so all alone
If midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
Midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
It never brings me happiness
Always leave me filled with gloom
Don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
Hey, don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
You better take my advice

BACKWATER BLUES
It rained five days
The sky has turned black as night
Oh, it rained five days
And the sky has turned black as night
And there's trouble takin' place
Way down in the lowlands tonight
I woke up this mornin'
And I couldn't get out of my front door
I woke up this mornin'
And I couldn't get out of my front door
It was so much trouble
Make a poor man wonder where he wanna go
They rowed a little boat
About five miles 'cross the pond
They rowed a little boat
About five miles 'cross the pond
I packed up all of my things and threw 'em in
Boys and the boat rowed along
I climbed up on the high lonely hill
Oh, I climbed up on the high oh, lonely hill
And I looked down at the house
Baby, where I used to live
Backwater blues
caused me to pack my things and go
The backwater blues
caused me to pack my things and go
'Cause my house fell down
And I can't live there no more
Yeah, when it's thunderin' and lightnin'
And the rain begin to pour
When it's thunderin' and lightnin'
And the wind begin to blow
There are so many poor people

SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Work all the summer and all the fall
Just trying to find my little Lenore
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
One summer day when she went away
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
There was days when I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and prayer in vain
But now she's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world, alright
wENT to the station, down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train, worked and got to home
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days they have gone by
Why should I beg now when she's saying goodbye?
But now she's gone and I don't worry

TOMORROW NIGHT
Tomorrow night, will you remember what you said tonight?
Tomorrow night, will all the thrill be gone?
Tomorrow night, will this be just another memory?
Or just another lovely song to linger in my heart, to linger on?
