Death Valley Blues Lyrics

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
