Death Letter

I got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
 It read, "Hurry, the gal you love is dead"
 I got a letter this mornin', how do you reckon it read?
 You know, it said "Hurry, hurry, 'cause the gal you love is dead"
 Ahh, I grabbed up my suitcase, I took off down the road
 But when I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board
 Grabbed up my suitcase, I took off down the road
 I said, but when I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board
 Well, I walk up right close and I look her in the face
 The good ol' gal gonna lay there until the Judgment Day
 I walked up right close and I looked down in her face
 I said the good old gal gotta lay here 'til the Judgment Day
 I looked back and there was 10,000 people
 Standin' around the buryin' ground
 I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down
 It looked like 10,000 who were standin' 'round the buryin' ground
 You know, I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down
 Well, I fold up my arms and I slowly walk away
 I said, "Farewell darlin', I'll see you on the Judgment Day"
 I said, "Yeah-yes, oh yes", I just walked away
 I said, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you on the Judgment Day"
 You know, I didn't feel that bad 'til the good old sun went down
 I didn't have a soul that I could throw my arms around
 I didn't feel so bad 'iil the good old sun went down
 Yeah, I didn't have me a soul that I could throw my arms around
 You know, it's so hard to love someone that can't love you
 Need satisfaction, I don't care what you do
 It's hard to love someone who can't love you
 Look like it ain't satisfaction, I don't care what you do
 Well, I got up this mornin' at the break of day
 Just huggin' the pillow where that good gal used to lay
 I said, yeah, this mornin', the break of day
 You know, I huggin' the pillow where that good gal used to lay
 Oh, hush, I thought I heard her call my name
 It wasn't loud, it was kinda nice and plain
 I said, "Yeah, thought I heard that good gal call my name
 You know, it wasn't loud, it was kinda nice and plain
