See That My Grave Is Kept Clean

(first release¡ºblind lemon jefferson)



Well there's one kind of favor i'll ask for you

Well there's one kind of favor i'll ask for you

There's just one kind of favor i'll ask for you

You can see that my grave is kept clean.



And there's two white horses following me

And there's two white horses following me

I got two white horses following me

Waiting on my burying ground.



Did you ever hear that coffin sound

Did you ever hear that coffin sound

Did you ever hear that coffin sound

Means another poor boy is underground.



Did you ever hear them church bells toll

Did you ever hear them church bells toll

Did you ever hear them church bells toll

Means another poor boy is dead and gone.



And my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold

And my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold

And my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold

Now i believe what the bible told.



There's just one last favor i'll ask for you

And there's one last favor i'll ask for you

There's just one last favor i'll ask for you

See that my grave is kept clean.
