Death Letter

[Verse 1]

I got a letter this morning, what do you reckon it read?

It said, "The gal you love is dead"

I got a letter this morning, what do you reckon it read?

Said, "Hurry, hurry, because the gal you love is dead"

[Verse 2]

Well, I packed up my suitcase, I took off down the road

When I got there, she was laying on the cooling board

I packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road

When I got there, she was laying on the cooling board

[Instrumental Break]

Well

Yeah

[Verse 3]

It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burying ground

I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down

Looked like ten thousand people standing on the burying ground

I didn't know that I loved her 'til they began to let her down

[Verse 4]

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, and I don't care what you do

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Well, I got up this morning, the break of day

Just hugging the pillows where she used to lay

Got up this morning, believe the break of day

Just hugging the pillows where my baby used to lay
