Well, there's one kind-a favor I'll ask of you

There's just one kind favor I'll ask of you
You can see that my grave is kept clean
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 coughin' sound?

Means another poor boy is underground
Did you ever hear them church bells tone?

Means another poor boy is dead and gone

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 of you

See that my grave is kept clean

-- Blind Lemon Jefferson
