Graveyard Blues

Cat. #1133 (MFH #788) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on April 9, 1970

VERSE 1
Well, I went to th graveyard
To look down on her face
Went to th graveyard
Looked down on her face
Said, I'm sorry, woman
But I jest can't take your place
A woman made a fool out'a me

VERSE 2
Where was you woman
When th train left th shed
Where was you woman
When th train left th shed
I was standing in my backroom door
Wishing to God I was dead
A woman made a fool out'a me

VERSE 3
O, I hate to see
That evenin' sun go down
Hate to see
That evenin' sun go down
I've got nobody
And I'm so lone, lonesome man
Woman made a fool out'a me

VERSE 4
Come here woman
An' see what you have done
Come here woman
See what you have done
You caused me to love you
An' now, you're left an' gone
Woman made a fool out'a me

VERSE 5
Well, take me to th graveyard
N' throw sod over me
Take me to th graveyard
Throw sod over me
I want to tell th whole wide world
How you mistreated me
A woman made a fool out'a me
