Death Valley Blues

Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup

I went down in Death Valley : among the tombstones and dry bones
That's where poor me will be : Lord when I'm dead and gone

Now if I should die : I should die before my time
I want you to bury my body : down by that Frisco line

Now bury me mama : low down in the sand
Now bury me mama : where I won't bother your next old man

Oh bye bye baby : I said goodbye
Death Valley is my home : mama I want to die

Tell all the women : please come dressed in red
They going down Sixty‑One Highway : that's where the poor boy he fell dead

Wear your patent leather slippers : mama put out your morning gown
You going to follow poor Crudup : down to his burying ground.
