Written by Hy Heath and Johnny Lange
As recorded by Count Basie orchestra

lyrics

They'll be walking slow behind you
And they'll know just where to find you
If you don't leave my baby alone

There'll be flowers by the dozen
From uncles, aunts and cousins
When all your earthly trials are gone

They'll take you out to you know where
And lay you in the shade
Then proceed to pat your ugly features with a spade

So allow me to remind you
They'll be walking slow behind you
Satan's going to have you for his own
If you don't leave my baby alone

They will cover you with violets they gathered in the dell
Yeah there'll be lots of flowers,
but you think you'll be in shape to smell?

So remind me to remind you
They'll be walking slow behind you
Friends will gather 'round to weep and moan
If you don't leave my baby alone
