YOUNG GAL'S BLUES
I'm gonna walk to de graveyard'Hind ma friend Miss Cora Lee.Gonna walk to de graveyard'Hind ma dear friend Cora LeeCause when I'm dead someBody'll have to walk behind me.
I'm goin' to de po' houseTo see ma old Aunt Clew.Goin' to de po' houseTo see ma old Aunt Clew.When I'm old an' uglyI'll want to see somebody, too.
De po' house is lonelyAn' de grave is cold.O, de po' house is lonely,De graveyard grave is cold.But I'd rather be dead thanTo be ugly an' old.
When love is gone whatCan a young gal do?When love is gone, O,What can a young gal do?Keep on a-lovin' me, daddy,Cause I don't want to be blue.
