[Verse 1]
Paperboys hollerin' "Extra! People, have you read the news?"
Paperboys hollerin' "Extra! People, have you read the news?"
I shot the man I love, now I've got those graveyard bound blues

[Verse 2]
And then the dead wagon rolled up with the rumbling sound
And then the dead wagon rolled up with the rumbling sound
It took my man away, and it was graveyard bound

[Instrumental Break and Humming]

[Verse 3]
When they carried him to the graveyard, Lordy, how I did rave
When they carried him to thе graveyard, Lordy, how I did rave
And when thеy start to lower his coffin, I jumped right in his grave

[Verse 4]
Girls, if you ever love a man, a man you really hate to lose
Girls, if you ever love a man, a man you really hate to lose
Don't ever lose your temper when you've been drinkin' booze
