Lyrics
I got a letter this mornin' I say now, how do y'all reckon it read? I said I got a letter this mornin' I say now, how do y'all reckon it read? It said, "Hurry, hurry!" "'Cause the girl you love is dead" You know, I grabbed up my suitcase And I took off down the road I grabbed up my suitcase And yeah, I took off down the road You know when I got there She's layin' on a coolin' board Well, I walked up right close And I looked down in her face Yeah, ooh Yeah, I looked down in her face You know she was good ol' gal She got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day Well, it looked like ten thousand people Was standin' round the buryin' ground Yeah, looked like it was ten thousand people They were standin' round the buryin' ground You know I didn't know that I loved her Until they began to let her down Ohh, I folded up my arms I said I, I slowly walked away I folded up my arms Yeah I, I slowly walked away I said, "Farewell, farewell honey" "I'll meet you on Judgment Day" Yes, I went in my room I said I bowed down to pray I went in my room Yeah, I bowed down to pray I said but the blues came along Yeah, and drove my spirit away I gets up in the mornin' Feelin' so sick and bad Yes, I gets up soon the mornin' I said, I be feeling so sick and bad You know I'll be just thinkin' about the good times And assume that I once had You know I didn't feel so bad 'Til the good Lord sun went down You know I didn't feel so bad Until the good Lord sun went down You know I didn't have a soul To throw my arms around
