Lyrics

I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read? It said, "Hurry, hurry now, your love is dead" A letter this morning, how do you reckon it read? It said, "Hurry, hurry now, the man that you love is dead" Well, I grabbed my suitcase and I took off down the road When I got there, he was laying on the cooling board Grabbed my suitcase, yes, I took off down the road When I got there, he was laying on the cooling board And it looked like ten thousand people Standing 'round the burying ground I didn't know that I loved that man 'til they laid him down Ten thousand people standing 'round the burying ground I didn't know I loved him 'til they laid him in the ground Well, I didn't feel so bad 'til that sun went down I didn't have no soul to throw my arms around Didn't feel so bad 'til that sun went down I didn't have no soul to throw my arms around Well, I went to my room and I bowed down to pray And the blues came along and it drove my spirit away Went to my room, I bowed down to pray Yeah, the blues came along and it drove my spirit away Well, I cried last night and I cried the night before Gotta change my way of living so I don't have to cry no more I cried the night before Gotta change my way of living so I don't have to cry no more
