You ask the judge where I was condemned and
he answered brandishing the kettle I ain't
never met nobody with that name.
You ask the hangman where I was executed and he answered,
oh in your neck say I never met
nobody with that name.
Away, away,
stay away from my grave.
Away, away, stay away from my place.
You dirty black star,
I want you to forget my face.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
Away, away,
stay away from my grave.
Away, away,
stay away from my place.
You dirty black star,
I want you to forget my face.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
You ask the cretin where I was spurned
and he answered brandishing a shovel.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
You ask me where I left resting and
I answer you by arresting my life.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
Away,
away, stay away from my grave.
Away, away,
stay away from my place.
You dirty black star,
I want you to forget my face.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
Away, away,
stay away from my grave.
Away, away, stay away from my place.
You dirty black star,
I want you to forget my face.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
You ask the water,
you ask the cow, you ask the fainting,
away,
away,
stay away from my grave.
Away, away,
stay away from my place.
You dirty black star,
I want you to forget my face.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
Away, away, stay away from my grave.
Away, away, stay away from my place.
You dirty black star,
I want you to forget my face.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
Away, away.
Away, away.
I ain't never met nobody with that name.
No, I ain't never met nobody with that name.
No, I ain't never met nobody with that name.
