Lyrics: Death Letter

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read
It said 'Hurry the gal you love is dead'

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read
It said, hurry, hurry, because that gal you love is dead

I grabbed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there she was
Laying on the cooling board

I grabbed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
When I got there she was
Laying on the cooling board

It looked like ten thousand people
Standing around the burial ground
I didn't know I loved her
'till they began to let her down
Looked like ten thousand people
Standing on the burial ground
I didn't know that I loved her
'till they began to let her down

You know it's so hard to love
Someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction
Don't care what you do
So hard to love
Someone that don't love you

Don't look like satisfaction
Don't care what you do

Well I got up this morning
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows
She used to lay

Got up this morning
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows
Where my baby used to lay
