No Headstone On My Grave Lyrics

Don't put no headstone on my grave, 

All my life I've been a slave, 

Want the whole wide world to know, 

That I'm the man that loved you so




Mama, mama, don't you cry, 

I'm gonna meet you in the by and
by, in the sweet by and by 

Tell papa I'm comin' home, comin' on home, 

God, it can't be very long 



Don't put no headstone on my grave,


All my life I've been a slave, 

Want the whole wide world to know,


That I'm the stud that loved you so 



M,m,m,m,m,m mama don't
you cry, 

Lord, I'm gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and
by 

Tell papa I'm coming home, 

Oh God, it can't be very long 



Don't put no headstone on my grave, 

Whoooh! All my life I've
been a slave, motherhumpin' slave 

And you know something? I want the
world to know, 

That I'm the stud that loved that woman so 



Mama, mama don't you cry, mama, don't cry, 

I'm gonna meet you in the
by and by, in the sweet by and by 

Tell papa, I'm coming home, Oh Lord,


You know, it can't be very long 



(One more time now) 

Don't put a headstone on my grave 

All my liiiife I've been a slave,


Want the whooooole wide world to know, 

That I'm the man, 

That loved,

Don't put no headstone on my

All my life I've been a slave, whoooh!

That I'm the stud that loved you so 



Ma-ma-ma-ma mama, don't you cry, whooh! Don't cry!

Tell papa I'm coming home,
