I've Gotta Get a Message to You

The preacher taunted with me and he smiled

Said come and walk with me come and walk one more mile

Now for once in your life you're alone

But you ain't got a dime there's no time for the phone

I've just got to get a message to you

Oh la oh la

One more hour and my life will be through

Oh la oh la

I told him I'm in no hurry

But if I broke her heart then won't you tell her I'm sorry

And for once in my life I'm alone

And I got to let her know just in time before I go

I've just go to get a message to you

Oh la oh la

One more hour and my life will be through

Oh la oh la

Well I laughed but that didn't hurt

And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt

Now I'm crying but deep down inside

Well I did it to him now it's my turn to die

I've just got to get a message to you

Oh la oh la

One more hour and my life will be through

Oh la oh la

I've just got to get a message to her

Oh la aho oh la

One more hour and my life will be through

Oh long

Oh long

I've just got to get a message to her

Oh long

Oh long
