Ida Cox — Coffin Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Daddy oh daddy: won’t you answer me please
All day I stood by your coffin: trying to give my poor
heart ease
I rubbed my hands over your head: and whispered in your
ear
And I wonder if you know: that your mama’s near
You told me that you loved me: and I believed what you
said
And I wished that I could fall: here across your coffin
dead
When I left the undertakers: I couldn’t help but cry
And it hurts me so bad: to tell the man I love goodbye
