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
