Death Letter Blues

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 coolin' board

Yes I grabbed up my suitcase

I took off down the road

When I got there

She was laying

'Lain on the coolin' board：

Well

I walked up right close

I look down in her face

Oh good gal

Gotta lay here 'til Judgment Day

I said I walked up right close

I said I look down in her face

Oh the good ol' gal

Gotta lay here 'til judgment day：

Look like ten thousand people

Standing 'round the burying ground

I didn't know I loved her 'til they laid her down

Look like ten thousand

Standing 'round the burial ground

I didn't know that I love her

'Til they laid her down：

Well

I fol' up my arms

I slowly walk away

I say

Farewell honey

I see you Judgment Day

Yeah with nobody：

I slowly walk away

I see you Judgment Day：

You know

I didn't feel so bad 'til the good ol' Sun when down

I didn't have a soul

To throw my aroundarms

I didn't feel so bad

'Til the good ol' 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

Seem like it ain't satisfaction

Don't care what you do：

Well

I woke up this mornin'

The break of day

Just huggin' the pillows

She used to lay

I say Soon

This mourning

At break of day

Just huggin' 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
