Ev'r day have been there Long old lonesome day Now don't ya a-hear me talkin', pretty mama? Ev'r day have been Long old lonesome day Cry, it seem like you-ooo would Be there ooo-ooo, same old way Cryin', smokestack lightning That bell that shine like gold Now don't ya a-hear me talkin', pretty mama? Ooh, smokestack lightning Bells that shine like gold Cryin', I found my baby Layin' on the coolin' floor Don't a hearse look lonesome, mama Rollin' for yo' do'? Now don't ya a-hear me talkin', pretty mama? Don't a hearse look lonesome Rollin' for yo' do'? Cryin' she's gone, tell you-ooo, Lord Won't be-ee-ee back no mo' Ooh, stop and listen Hear how those bells in toll Now don't ya a-hear me talkin', pretty mama? Ooh, stop and listen Hear the bell it tolls I had a sweet little faror But she's dead and gone Cryin', followed my baby down To the buryin' ground Now don't ya a-hear me talkin', pretty mama? I followed my baby, to the buryin' ground It was afternoon, mama Standing all around you.
