I wired my baby some flowers
Thinkin' I wouldn't get there in time
I wired my baby some flowers
Thinkin' I wouldn't get there in time
The next telegram I received
Hoo-well-well, that my baby was dyin'

I walked around the casket
And looked down in my baby's face
I walked around the casket
And looked down in my baby's face
Then I was soon only wonder
Hoo-well-well, what good woman would take her place?Peetie Wheatstraw - Hearse Man Blues - http://motolyrics.com/peetie-wheatstraw/hearse-man-blues-lyrics.html

The church bells began to tone
Hearse wheels was rollin' slower
The church bells began to tone
Hearse wheels was rollin' slower
They are taking my baby to a place
Hoo-well-well, where I won't see her no mo'

Hearse driver, Mr. Undertaker (Mr. Undertaker)
Mr. Hearse man, please drive slow
Hearse driver, Mr. Hearseman
Mr. Hearseman, please drive slow
Where you are takin' my baby
Hoo-well-well, now I swear we all just got to go

Then I watched the undertaker
Slowly, let her down
Then I watched the undertaker
Slowly, let her down
If my baby don't go no further
Hoo-well-well, I know she's six feet in the ground.
