Artist/Band: John Mellencamp
Lyrics for Song: Death Letter
Lyrics for Album: Trouble No More [2003]



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

i'm wonderin'

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



Farewell! Farewell! 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 arms around



i didn't feel so bad

'til the good ol' Sun down



i didn't have a soul



to throw my arms around:



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

'round for my shoes

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



i say, Soon.

this mourning

i slowly walk away



Oh, good gal

lay here 'til Judgment Day:


Napaca.
