Death Letter-Johnny Winter
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,
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
