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
