Last Kind Words - Kronos Quartet, Rhiannon Giddens

If I die, if I die, in the German war

I want you to send my body, send it to my mother, Lord

If I get killed, if I get killed, please don’t bury my soul

I prefer, just leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole

When you see me comin', look 'cross the rich man’s field

If I don’t bring you flowers I’ll bring you

I went to the deadbolt, I looked up at the stars

Cried some train don’t come, there’ll be some walkin' done

Well my mama, she told me, just before she died

Lord, my precious daughter, don’t you be so wry

The Mississippi River, you know it’s deep and wide

I can stand right here, see my babe from the other side

What you do to me, baby, it never gets out of me

I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
