Lyrics
I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read? It said hurry, the gal you love is dead I got a letter this morning, hum how do you reckon it read? You know it said, hurry, hurry! Reckon the gal you love is dead Oh! I grabbed up my suitcase, took off down the road When I got there, she was laying on the cooling board I grabbed up my suitcase, I said I took off down the road I said when I got there, hum she was laying on the cooling board Well, I walked up right close, looked down in her face She's a good old girl, and today had her Judgment Day I walked up right close, I said I looked down in her face I say she's a good old girl, hum gotta lay her in Judgment Day Looked like it was 10000 people, standin' around the buryin' ground I didn't know I loved her, until I let her down Looked like 10000, hum standin' around the buryin' ground You know I didn't know that I loved her, untiI I began to let her down Well, I folded up my arms I slowly walked away I said, farewell honey I see you in the Judgement Day Yeah, oh yes I walked away I said, farewell, farewell Hum I see you at Judgement Day You know I didn't feel so bad, till the good Lord's sun went down I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around I didn't feel so bad until the good Lord's sun went down Hum-hum-hum, hum-hum-hum You know it's so hard to love, when someone don't love you Ain't satisfaction don't ya, care what you do Yeah! It's so hard, hum to love someone that don't love you You know look like it ain't satisfaction, hum don't care what you do Well, I got up this morning, to the break of day Just hugging the pillows she used to lay I said, soon this morning, hum yes to the break of day You know, I would hug the pillow, where my good gal used to lay Hum, I got up this morning feelin' 'round for my shoes You know that I must have, them walking blues Soon this morning, I'm feelin' 'round for my shoes Yeah! Don't know but I might, I must have them walking blues Oh! Hush! Thought I heard them call my name It was so loud, so nice and clean Yeah, hum-hum-hum Hum-hum-hum, hum-hum-hum
