Ida Cox — Coffin Blues

[Verse 1] Daddy, oh daddy, won't you answer me please Daddy, oh daddy, won't you answer me please All day I stood by your coffin, tryin' to give my poor heart ease [Verse 2] I rub my hands over your head and whispered in your ear I rub my hands over your head and whispered in your ear And I wonder if you know that your mama's near [Instrumental Break & Humming] [Verse 3] You told me that you love me, and I believed what you said You told me that you love me, and I believed what you said And I wish that I could fall here across your coffin dead [Verse 4] When I left the undertaker, I couldn't help but cry And it hurt me so bad to tell the man I love goodbye
