death letter - son house lyrics

Loading...

i got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read?
it said, “hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead.”
i got a letter this mornin, i say how do you reckon it read?
you know, it said, “hurry, hurry, how 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 ole gal got to lay here til the judgement day.
i walked up right close, and i said i looked down in her face.
i said the good ole gal, she got to lay here til the judgement 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.
you know i didn’t know i loved her til they d-mn laid her down.

lord, have mercy on my wicked soul.
i wouldn’t mistreat you baby, for my weight in gold.
i said, lord, have mercy on my wicked soul.
you know i wouldn’t mistreat n-body, baby, not for my weight in gold.

well, i folded up my arms and i slowly walked away.
i said, “farewell honey, i’ll see you on judgement day.”
ah, yeah, oh, yes, i slowly walked away.
i said, “farewell, farewell, i’ll see you on the judgement day.”

you know i went in my room, i bowed down to pray.
the blues came along and drove my spirit away.
i went in my room, i said i bowed down to pray.
i said the blues came along and drove my spirit away.

you know i didn’t feel so bad, til the good ole sun went down.
i didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around.-acapo
