|
| I got a letter this mornin,
|

|
| You know, it said, «Hurry, hurry,
|
| come the gal you love is dead?»
|
| So, I grabbed up my suitcase,
|
| and took off down the road
|
| When I got there she was layin' on a coolin' board
|
| I grabbed up my suitcase,
|
| and I said and I took off down the road
|
| I said, but when I got there
|
| she was already layin on a coolin' board
|
| Well, I walked up right close,
|
| looked down in her face
|
| Said, the good ol' gal got to lay here
|
| 'til the Judgment Day
|
| I walked up right close,
|
| I said I looked down in her face
|
| I said the good ol' gal,
|
| she got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day
|
| Looked like there was 10, 000
|
| people standin' round the buryin' ground
|
| I didn’t know I loved her
|
| 'til they laid her down
|
| Looked like 10, 000
|
| were standin' round the buryin' ground
|
| I loved her 'til they damn laid her down
|
| Well, I folded up my arms and I slowly walked away
|
| I said, «Farewell honey,
|
| I’ll see you on Judgment Day»
|
| I folded up my arms
|
| Ah, yeah, oh, yes, I slowly walked away
|
| I’ll see you on the Judgment Day"
|
| I didn’t feel so bad,
|
| 'til the good ol' sun went down
|
| You know, I didn’t have nobody to throw my arms around
|
| Ah, hush, thought I heard her call my name
|
| If it wasn’t so loud and so nice and plain
|
| Ah, hush, thought I heard her call my name
|
| If it wasn’t so loud and so nice and plain |
