I feel like taking my suitcase : sitting down by that railroad side
If I ever get killed baby : don't tell nobody how I died
Baby please don't tell my mother : please don't let my sister know
Sure as you appreciate my death baby : will you please hang crepe on your door
When you walk into the undertaker : look over on your right‑hand side
You can ask the undertakers about me : they may tell you how I died
Baby baby don't you worry : sugar don't you weep and moan
You may know about *bad luck* baby : that your Fred is dead and gone
Buy me some flowers : see how they put my body away
You can tell all your friends around baby : you heard the last word I had to say
When [you, they] go to the cemetery : they begin to lower my body down
You know that's the last of my good man : because they putting him down in the cold cold ground
