Last Kind Word Blues - Dex Romweber Duo, Jack White

The last kind word I heared my daddy say

Lord, the last kind word I heared 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

Just leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole

When you see me comin'

Look 'cross the rich man’s field

If I don’t bring you flour I’ll bring you bolted meal

I went to the depot

I looked up at the stars

Cried, some train don’t come, there’ll be some walkin' done

My momma she told me

Just before she died

Lord, precious daughter, don’t you be so wild

The Mississippi river

You know it’s deep and wide

But I can stand right here, see my babe from the other side

What you to do me baby

Never gets out of me

I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea

What you to do

What you to do

It never gets out of me

I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
