Lyrics for Graveyard Dream Blues

Blues on my mind, blues all around my head Blues on my mind, and blues all around my head I dreamed last night that the man that I love was dead I went to the graveyard, fell down on my knees I went to the graveyard, fell down on my knees And I asked the gravedigger to give me back my real good man please The gravedigger look me in the eye The gravedigger look me in the eye Said "I'm sorry lady but your man has said his last goodbye" I wrung my hands and I wanted to scream I wrung my hands and I wanted to scream But when I woke up I found it was only a dream
