New black suit
I've got a new black suit in a box on the shelf It's she first new suit ever bought for myself If it was gray or blue I would think it a prize But that new black suit brings tears to my eyes Mama's dying, mama's dying And I just can't stand the thought How can I bear it, must I wear it That new black suit I bought I was just last night the doctor looked at me and said Son I've done all I can soon your mom will be dead So I sent for the preacher and called up the kin Before long, one by one, they'll all start comming in * Refrain In that new black suit that I couldn't afford I watched them carry my mom as she goes to the lord Then I'll think about Heaven and try not to cry As I stand by her for that last good-bye * Refrain
