Your Good Man Is Gone - Original Mix
I feel like taking my suitcase, sitting down by that railroad side
If I ever get killed baby, don't tell nobody how I died
Baby please don't tell my mother, please don't let my sister know
Baby please don't tell my mother, please don't let my sister know
Sure as you appreciate my death baby, will you please hang crepe on your door
When you walk into the undertaker, look over on your right‑hand side
When you walk into the undertaker, look over on your right‑hand side
You can ask the undertakers about me, they may tell you how I died
Baby baby don't you worry, sugar don't you weep and moan
Baby baby don't you worry, sugar don't you weep and moan
You may know about bad luck baby, that your Fred is dead and gone
Buy me some flowers, see how they put my body away
Buy me some flowers, see how they put my body away
You can tell all your friends around baby, you heard the last word I had to say
When you go to the cemetery, they begin to lower my body down
When you go to the cemetery, they begin to lower my body down
You know that's the last of my good man, because they putting him down in the cold cold ground
If I ever get killed baby, don't tell nobody how I died
Baby please don't tell my mother, please don't let my sister know
Baby please don't tell my mother, please don't let my sister know
Sure as you appreciate my death baby, will you please hang crepe on your door
When you walk into the undertaker, look over on your right‑hand side
When you walk into the undertaker, look over on your right‑hand side
You can ask the undertakers about me, they may tell you how I died
Baby baby don't you worry, sugar don't you weep and moan
Baby baby don't you worry, sugar don't you weep and moan
You may know about bad luck baby, that your Fred is dead and gone
Buy me some flowers, see how they put my body away
Buy me some flowers, see how they put my body away
You can tell all your friends around baby, you heard the last word I had to say
When you go to the cemetery, they begin to lower my body down
When you go to the cemetery, they begin to lower my body down
You know that's the last of my good man, because they putting him down in the cold cold ground
