Lyrics

[00:05] I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read
[00:11] Said, hurry, hurry, the gal you love is dead
[00:16] I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read
[00:24] Said, hurry, hurry, cause the gal you love is dead
[00:34] You know, i grabbed up my suitcase took off down the road
[00:40] When i got there she was layin on a coolin’ board
[00:44] I grabbed up my suitcase, and i took off down the road
[00:52] I said, oh when i got there she was layin on a coolin’ board
[01:01] You know,i walked up right close, looked down in her face
[01:07] Said, the good ol’ girl got to lay here ’til the Judgment Day
[01:11] And he walked up right close, and he looked down in her face
[01:19] He said the good ol’ girl, got to lay here ’til the Judgment Day
[01:28] You know,looked like it was 10,000 people standin’ round the buryin’ ground
[01:34] I didn’t know that i loved her until they let her down
[01:39] Looked like it was 10,000 standin’ round the buryin’ ground
[01:47] You know,I didn’t know that he loved her until they began to let her down
[01:56] You know I didn’t feel so bad, ’til the good lord sun went down
[02:01] I didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around
[02:06] You know I didn’t feel so bad, ’til the good lord sun went down
[02:14] I said, I didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around
[02:23] You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you
[02:28] Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do
[02:33] so hard to love someone that don't love you
[02:41] Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do
[02:50] You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do
[02:56] Love sometimes leaves you feeling sad and blue
[03:01] love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do
[03:11] Love sometimes leaves you feeling sad
