Death Letter Blues

I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read

Said, hurry, hurry, the gal you love is dead

I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read

Said, hurry, hurry, cause the gal you love is dead

You know, i grabbed up my suitcase took off down the road

When i got there she was layin on a coolin’ board

I grabbed up my suitcase, and i took off down the road

I said, oh when i got there she was layin on a coolin’ board

You know,i walked up right close, looked down in her face

Said, the good ol’ girl got to lay here ’til the Judgment Day

And he walked up right close, and he looked down in her face

He said the good ol’ girl, got to lay here ’til the Judgment Day

You know,looked like it was 10,000 people standin’ round the buryin’ ground

I didn’t know that i loved her until they let her down

Looked like it was 10,000 standin’ round the buryin’ ground

You know,I didn’t know that he loved her until they began to let her down

You know I didn’t feel so bad, ’til the good lord sun went down

I didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around

You know I didn’t feel so bad, ’til the good lord sun went down

I said, I didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around

You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you

Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do

so hard to love someone that don't love you

Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do

You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do

Love sometimes leaves you feeling sad and blue

love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do

Love sometimes leaves you feeling sad
