Last Kind Words -Rhiannon Giddens The last kind words I heard my dad say Lord the last kind words I heard my daddy say If I die if I die in the German war I want you to send my body Send it to my mother Lord If I get killed if I get killed Please don't bury my soul I prefer just leave me out Let the buzzards eat me whole When you see me coming Look across the rich man's field If I don't bring you flowers I'll bring you bolted meal I went to the deadbolt I looked up at the stars Cried some train don't come There'll be some walking done Well my mama she told me Just before she died Lord my precious daughter Don't you be so wild The Mississippi River You know way it's deep and wide I can stand right here See my babe from the other side What you do to me baby It never gets out of me I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
