Death Letter Blues - Son House

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 walked up right close
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
Look like ten thousand
Standing 'round the burial ground
I didn't know that I love her
'Til they laid her down：
Well
I fol' up my arms
I slowly walk away
I say
Farewell honey
I see you Judgment Day
Yeah with nobody：
I slowly walk away
I see you Judgment Day：
You know
I didn't feel so bad 'til the good ol' Sun when down
I didn't have a soul
To throw my aroundarms
I didn't feel so bad
'Til the good ol' Sun down
You know it's so hard to love
Someone
Don't love you
Look like it ain't satisfaction
Don't care what you do
Yeah：so hard
To love
Someone
Don't love you
Seem like it ain't satisfaction
Don't care what you do：
Well
I woke up this mornin'
The break of day
Just huggin' the pillows
She used to lay
I say Soon
This mourning
At break of day
Just huggin' the pillows
Where my good gal used to lay：
And I got up
This morning
Feeling
You know I must have
The Walking Blues
I say Soon
This mourning
Feeling 'round for my shoes
You know
Nobody
I must have the Walking Blues：
Hush
Thought I heard her call my name
Wasn't so loud
So nice and plain
