Death Room Blues lyrics

Tombstones is my pillow, cold grounds is my bed<br />
Tombstones is my pillow, cold grounds is my bed<br />
The blue skies is my blanket, and the moonlight is my spread<br />
<br />
Early one morning, death walked into my room<br />
Early one morning, death walked into my room<br />
Oh well it took my dear mother, early one morning soon<br />
<br />
She left me moanin' and cryin', moanin' like a turtledove<br />
She left me moanin' and cryin', moanin' like a turtledove<br />
Death walked in and got my dear mother, and the only friend I loved<br />
<br />
Mmmm..... eehh....<br />
Cryin' Lord have mercy, and she was the only friend I loved<br />
<br />
Ever since my mother died and left me all alone<br />
Ever since my mother died and left me all alone<br />
All my friends have forsake me, people I haven't even got no home<br />
<br />
Mmmm... feel like moanin' and cryin'<br />
Mmmm... feel like moanin' and cryin'<br />
Death walked in a got my mother, and that was the only dear friend of mine
