Current song lyrics
I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read?<br />It said, "Hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead"<br />I got a letter this mornin, I say how do you reckon it read?<br />You know, it said, "Hurry, hurry, how come the gal you love is dead?"<br /><br />So, I grabbed up my suitcase, and took off down the road<br />When I got there she was layin on a coolin' board<br />I grabbed up my suitcase, and I said and I took off down the road<br />I said, but when I got there she was already layin on a coolin' board<br /><br />Well, I walked up right close, looked down in her face<br />Said, the good ol' gal got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day<br />I walked up right close, and I said I looked down in her face<br />I said the good ol' gal, she got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day<br /><br />Looked like there was 10,000 people standin' round the buryin' ground<br />I didn't know I loved her 'til they laid her down<br />Looked like 10,000 were standin' round the buryin' ground<br />You know I didn't know I loved her 'til they damn laid her down<br /><br />Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul<br />I wouldn't mistreat you baby, for my weight in gold<br />I said, Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul<br />You know I wouldn't mistreat nobody, baby, not for my weight in gold<br /><br />Well, I folded up my arms and I slowly walked away<br />I said, "Farewell honey, I'll see you on Judgment Day"<br />Ah, yeah, oh, yes, I slowly walked away<br />I said, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you on the Judgment Day"<br /><br />You know I went in my room, I bowed down to pray<br />The blues came along and drove my spirit away<br />I went in my room, I said I bowed down to pray<br />I said the blues came along and drove my spirit away<br /><br />You know I didn't feel so bad, 'til the good ol' sun went down<br />I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around<br />I didn't feel so bad, 'til the good ol' sun went down<br />You know, I didn't have nobody to throw my arms around<br /><br />I loved you baby, like I love myself<br />You don't have me, you won't have nobody else<br />I loved you baby, better than I did myself<br />I said now if you don't have me, I didn't want you to have nobody else<br /><br />You know, it's hard to love someone that don't love you<br />Ain't no satisfaction, don't care what in the world you do<br />Yeah, it's hard to love someone that don't love you<br />You know it don't look like satisfaction, don't care what in the world you do<br /><br />Got up this mornin', just about the break of day<br />A-huggin' the pillow where she used to lay<br />Got up this mornin', just about the break of day<br />A-huggin' the pillow where my good gal used to lay<br /><br />Got up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes<br />You know, I must-a had them old walkin' blues<br />Got up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes<br />Yeah, you know bout that, I must-a had them old walkin' blues<br /><br />You know, I cried last night and all the night before<br />Gotta change my way a livin', so I don't have to cry no more<br />You know, I cried last night and all the night before<br />Gotta change my way a livin', you see, so I don't have to cry no more<br /><br />Ah, hush, thought I heard her call my name<br />If it wasn't so loud and so nice and plain<br />Ah, yeah<br />Mmmmmm<br /><br />Well, listen, whatever you do<br />This is one thing, honey, I tried to get along with you<br />Yes, no tellin' what you do<br />I done everything I could, just to try and get along with you<br /><br />Well, the minutes seemed like hours, hours they seemed like days<br />It seemed like my good, old gal outta done stopped her low-down ways<br />Minutes seemed like hours, hours they seemed like days<br />Seems like my good, old gal outta done stopped her low-down ways<br /><br />You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do<br />Love sometimes leaves you feeling sad and blue<br />You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do<br />Love sometimes make you feel sad and blue
