Death Letter
I got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
It read, "Hurry, the gal you love is dead"
I got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
You know, it said "Hurry, hurry, 'cause the gal you love is dead"
Ahh, I grabbed up my suitcase, I took off down the road
But when I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board
Grabbed up my suitcase, I took off down the road
I said, but when I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board
Well, I walk up right close and I look her in the face
The good ol' gal gonna lay there until the Judgment Day
I walked up right close and I looked down in her face
I said the good old gal gotta lay here 'til the Judgment Day
I looked back and there was 10,000 people
Standin' around the buryin' ground
I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down
It looked like 10,000 who were standin' 'round the buryin' ground
You know, I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down
Well, I fold up my arms and I slowly walk away
I said, "Farewell darlin', I'll see you on the Judgment Day"
I said, "Yeah-yes, oh yes", I just walked away
I said, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you on the Judgment Day"
You know, I didn't feel that bad 'til the good old sun went down
I didn't have a soul that I could throw my arms around
I didn't feel so bad 'iil the good old sun went down
Yeah, I didn't have me a soul that I could throw my arms around
You know, it's so hard to love someone that can't love you
Need satisfaction, I don't care what you do
It's hard to love someone who can't love you
Look like it ain't satisfaction, I don't care what you do
Well, I got up this mornin' at the break of day
Just huggin' the pillow where that good gal used to lay
I said, yeah, this mornin', the break of day
You know, I huggin' the pillow where that good gal used to lay
Oh, hush, I thought I heard her call my name
It wasn't loud, it was kinda nice and plain
I said, "Yeah, thought I heard that good gal call my name
You know, it wasn't loud, it was kinda nice and plain
It read, "Hurry, the gal you love is dead"
I got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
