I got a letter this morning, "How do you reckon?" It read
It said, "Hurry, hurry, that gal you love is dead"
I got a letter this morning, "How do you reckon?" It read
It said, "Hurry, hurry, that gal you love is dead"
You know, I grabbed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
When I got there, she's laying on the cooling board
You know, I grabbed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
When I got there, she's laying on the cooling board
You know, I walked up real close and I looked on down in her face
Good old girl, got to lay here 'til Judgement Day
You know, I walked up real close and I studied her face
Good, good old girl, she got to lay here 'til Judgement Day
Looked liked ten thousand people standing 'round her burying ground
Didn't know I loved her 'til they let her down
You know, ten thousand people standing 'round her burying ground
Didn't know I loved her until they let her down
You know, I didn't feel so bad 'til the good Lord son went down
Didn't have a soul to throw my arms around
You know, I didn't feel so bad 'til the evening sun went down
Didn't have no soul to throw my arms around
You know, I cried last night and the night before
Wanna change my way of living so I won't cry no more
You know, I cried last night and the night before
I thought I'll change my way of living 'til I won't be crying no more
You know, it's hard to love somebody if they don't love you
Get no satisfaction, don't care what they do
It's so hard to love somebody when they don't love you
And don't get no satisfaction, don't care what you do
I got a letter this morning, "How do you reckon?" It read
It said, "Hurry, hurry, that gal you love is dead"
I got a letter this morning, "How do you reckon?" It read
It said, "Hurry, hurry, that gal you love is dead"
