Death Letter - Cassandra Wilson
I got a letter this morning
How do
You reckon it read?
"hurry the gal you love is dead"?
I got a letter this morning
How you reckon it read
He say, "hurry, hurry"
"on account 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 coolin' board
Yes, i grabbed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When i got there
She was laying
'lain on the coolin' board:
Well,
I walked up right close
I look down in her face
Oh, good gal
Gotta lay here 'til Judgment Day
I said i look down in her face
Oh, the good ol' gal!
Gotta lay here 'til judgment day:
Look like ten thousand people
Standing 'round the burying ground
I didn't know i loved her 'til
They laid her down
Looked like there was 10,000 people
Standin round the buryin ground.
I didn't know I loved her til they laid her down.
