I got a letter this mornin'
How do you reckon it read?
Said, "Hurry, hurry!
The girl you love is dead"
I got a letter this mornin'
Ah-ah-ah, do you reckon it read?
It said, "Hurry, hurry!
The girl you love is dead"
Well, I packed my suitcase, and I hit on down the road
When I got there, my girl layin' on the coolin' board
Well, I packed my suitcase, and I hit on down the road
Well, when I got there, oh, baby layin' on the coolin' board
Walked up real close, I looked down in her face
She's a good old girl, layin' there for Judgment Day
I walked up close, then I looked down in her face
She's a good old girl, gonna lay there to Judgment Day
Well, you know, it looked like 10,000 people
Were standin' around the burying ground
I didn't know I loved her 'til they lay her down
Looked like 10,000 people
Standing' around the burying ground
Well, you know I didn't know I loved her
'TiI they lay her down
I didn't feel so bad 'til the good Lord's son went down
And I didn't have a soul to throw my arm around
I said I didn't feel so bad 'til the good Lord's son went down
I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around
Don't you know it's so hard to love
Someone like you?
Well, it don't look like dissatisfaction
Don't care what you do
It's so hard to love someone
Don't care what you do
Well, it don't look like dissatisfaction
Don't care what you do
You know that love had a fault
Make you do things you don't wanna do
Love sometimes make you feeling sad and blue
Love sometimes make you feeling sad and blue
You know that love sometimes leave you feeling sad and blue
