I've Gotta Get A Message To You

The preacher talked to 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
 Hold on, hold on
 
 One more hour and my life will be through
 Hold on, hold on
 ♪
 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've got to let her know just in time before I go
 I've just go to get a message to you
 Hold on, hold on
 One more hour and my life will be through
 Hold on, hold on
 ♪
 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
 Hold on, hold on
 One more hour and my life will be through
 Hold on, hold on
 I've just got to get a message to her
 Hold on, hold on
 One more hour and my life will be through, hold on
