See That My Grave Is Kept Clean Songtext
von Blind 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
