in G
I got a letter this morning,
How do you reckon it read?
It said "Hurry, hurry,
The gal you love is dead."
So, I grabbed up my suitcase,
Headed down the road,
By the time I got there,
She was laying on the cooling floor.
I walked up close,
Looked down in her face,
I said, "My good old girl
You got to lay here until Judgement Day
Looked like ten thousand people,
Were standing around the burial ground,
I didn't know that I loved her,
Until they let her down.
I didn't feel so bad,
Until the sun went down,
I didn't have a soul,
To throw my arms around.
It's so hard to love someone that don't love you,
You know love can't get satisfaction,
Don't care what you do.
love make you do things you don't want to do,
Love sometimes leave you feeling sad and blue,
