Blind Lemon Jefferson - See That My Grave Is Kept Clean

Well, there's one kind of favor I'll ask of you Well, there's one kind of favor I'll ask of you There's just one kind of favor I'll ask of 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 Have you ever heard that coffin' sound Did you ever hear that coffin' sound Means another poor boy is under ground
Did you ever hear them church bells tone Have you ever hear'd them church bells tone Did you ever hear them church bells tone Means another poor boy is dead and gone
Well, my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold And, my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold Well, 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 of you And there's one last favor I'll ask of you There's just one last favor I'll ask of you See that my grave is kept clean
