OH, where has my honey gone? | |
| Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! | |
| Oh where have they laid her bones? | |
| Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! | |
| Conjure woman shake her head, | 5 |
| Preacher dumb and master sad. | |
| Nobody knows! | |
| Nobody knows! | |
| |
| Why the tears that drop all night? | |
| Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! | 10 |
| Why the heart that burns like fire? | |
| Fly away, my Jubal, fly away! | |
| Angel close the Book of Life, | |
| Moon goes down and stars grow cold. | |
| Nobody knows! | 15 |
| Nobody knows! | | | | |
