I had a man, who's good and kind in his way
Yeah I had a man, sweet and kind in his way
Lord, he died and he left me
And I sing the blues on every decoration day

Lord I was standing, standing 'round my baby's bed
Well, my lord, my lord he take my baby away
Why, why, why, why
When your soul don't come back
Lord, I hung my head and cried
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cowboy+junkies/decoration+day_20033740.html ]
Said, now baby please please don't worry
Said, now baby please please don't worry
'cause everybody's gotta go
Why, why, why, why
The best man, God knows, I ever had

All day, that sunday
I just hung my head and cried
So sad, that sunday
When my lord he take my baby
Why, why, why, why
I need my baby on some old lonesome day
And I sing the blues on every decoration day
On every decoration day
