Death Letter - Various Artists
I got a letter this morning

how do you reckon it read?

Hurry the gal you love is dead

I got a letter this morning

How you reckon it read

he say, hurry, hurry

On account that gal you love is dead

I grabbed up my suitcase

I took off down the road
When i got there she was laying

On the cooling board

Yes, i grabbed up my suitcase

I took off down the road

When i got there

She was laying
Lain on the cooling board well,

I walked up right close

I look down in her face
Oh, good gal
Gotta lay here till Judgment Day

I said i walked up right close
I said i look down in her face

Oh, the good old gal!

Gotta lay here till judgment day

Look like ten thousand people

Standing round the burying ground

I didn't know i loved

Her till they laid her down

Look like ten thousand

Standing round the burial ground

I didn't know that i love her

Till they laid her down well

I fold up my arms

I slowly walk away

I say farewell honey.

I see you Judgment Day.

Yeah, with nobody
I slowly walk away

I say farewell honey

I see you Judgment Day

You know

I didn't feel so bad

Till the good old sun when down
I didn't have a soul to throw my aroundarms

I didn't feel so bad

Till the good old sun down

You know it's so hard to love someone

Don't love you

Look like it ain't satisfaction don't care

What you do

Yeah so hard to love someone don't love you

You konw
Seem like it ain't satisfaction

Don't care what you do

Well, i woke up this morning

The break of day just hugging the pillows

She used to lay
I say,
Soon.

This mourning at break of day

You konw
Just hugging the pillows

Where my good gal used to lay

And i got up this morning feeling

You know i must have the Walking Blues

I say, Soon.
This mourning
Feeling round for my shoes

You know

Nobody?

I must have the Walking Blues

Hush!

Thought i heard her call my name

Wasn't so loud

So nice and plain
