"Last Kind Words" by Geechie Wiley (or Geeshie Wiley)
Guitar tab (PowerTab) | Guitar tab (GuitarPro) | MP3.
This is a first attempt to write guitar tab for this song, it needs improving.
Intro chords are
| - - Em Em | Em Em B7 B7 | B7 B7 Em Em | B7 B7 B7 B7 | Em Em Em Em |
(the last bar of the intro is the first bar in the tab).
Then the verse goes
| Am Am Am Am | Am Am Am Am | Em Em Em Em | Em Em Em Em | Em Em Em Em |Em Em Em Em | Em Em B7 B7 | B7 B7 Em Em | B7 B7 B7 B7 | Em Em Em Em |
However sometimes the Em chords sound like E chords,
sometimes the B7 chords sound like Bm7 chords (with the D string left unfretted),
and sometimes bar 4 in the tab file sounds like Am chords instead of Em chords.

Here's the lyrics (see discussions below for alternatives).
(instrumental)
The last kind words I heared my daddy say
Lord, the last kind words I heared my daddy say
If I die, if I die in the German war
I want you to send my body, send it to my mother, lord
If I get killed, if I get killed, please don't bury my soul
I p'fer just leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole
When you see me comin' look 'cross the rich man's field
If I don't bring you flour I'll bring you bolted meal
(instrumental)
I went to the depot, I looked up at the stars
Cried, some train don't come, there'll be some walkin' done
My mama told me, just before she died
Lord, precious daughter, don't you be so wild
The Mississippi river, you know it's deep and wide
I can stand right here, see my babe from the other side
What you do to me baby it never gets outta me
I may not see you after I cross the deep blue sea
