I got a letter this mornin' honey
What do you reckon it read
Said hurry hurry
the man you love is dead
I got a letter this mornin'
How do you reckon it read
Saying hurry hurry
the man you love is dead
Well I grabbed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
When I got there he was layin'
On the coolin' board
Grabbed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
Mmm, when I got there he was layin'
Layin' on the coolin' board
Well I walked up right close
Looked down in his face
Good old boy got to lay there til the
Judgment day
Looked down in his face
Good old boy got to lay there til the
Judgment day
There was like 10,000 people standing round the burial ground
I didn't know I loved him til they laid him down
Like 10,000 people standing round the burial ground
I didn't know I loved him til they laid him down
Got up this morning
Break of day
Just hugging the pillows
He used to lay
I said
Just at the break of day
When I was hugging the pillow where my sin man I used to lay
Hush
Thought I heard him calling me once
So loud so nice and plain
