Death Letter Blues

歌詞

I got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read? It said, "Hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead" I got a letter this mornin', I say how do you reckon it read? It said, "Hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead" Packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road When I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board Packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road When I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board I walked up right close, looked down in her face The good ol' girl got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day I walked up right close, and I looked down in her face The good ol' girl got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day Looked like 10,000 people standin' round the buryin' ground I didn't know I loved her 'til they laid her down Looked like 10,000 were standin' round the buryin' ground I didn't know I loved her 'til they begin and laid her down Folded up my arms and I walked away I said, "Good ol' girl, see you Judgment Day" Folded up my arms, oh yeah, and I walked away Said, "Good ol' girl, I'll see you Judgment Day" I didn't feel so bad, 'til the good ol' sun went down I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around I didn't feel so bad, 'til the good ol' sun went down I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around Hush, I thought I heard her call my name She didn't call so loud, so nice and plain Hush, I thought I heard her call my name She didn't call so loud, she called so nice and plain
