death letter blues (live) - son house lyrics

[verse 1]
i got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read?
say, “hurry, hurry! the gal you love is dead.”
i got a letter this morning, how you reckon it read?
you know, it say, “hurry, hurry! ’cause the gal you love is dead.”

[verse 2]
you know i grabbed up my suitcase, took off down the road
when i got there, she was laying on the cooling board
i grabbed up my suitcase, i said i took off down the road
i said when i got there, mmm she’s laying on the cooling board

[chorus]
lord, i walked up close, i looked down in her face
i said, “farewell, honey, i’ll see ya judgement day!”
i fold up my arms, i looked down in hеr face
and i said, “farewell, farеwell, hmm, i’ll see you judgement day!”

[verse 3]
looked like it was 10,000 people
were standin’ around the buryin’ ground
i didn’t know i loved her, ’til i let her down
looked like 10,000 standin’ around the buryin ground
you know i didn’t know that i loved her
untii i began to let her down
[chorus]
well, i fold up my arms, i slowly walked away
i said, “farewell, honey, i’ll see ya judgement day!”
i fold up my arms, i said, i slowly walked away
and i said, “farewell, farewell, hmm, i’ll see you judgement day!”

[verse 4]
well, i didn’t feel so bad
’til the good lord sun went down
i didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around
i didn’t feel so bad until the good lord’s sun went down
you know i didn’t have a soul to throw my arms around

[verse 5]
well, it’s so hard to love someone that don’t love you
don’t look like satisfaction, don’t care what you do
it’s hard to love someone that don’t love you
look like you need satisfaction
don’t care what in the world you do

[verse 6]
you know, went in my room, i bowed down to pray
’cause the blues came along, and drove my spirit ‘way
i went in my room, and i said, i bowed down to pray
i said, well, the blues came along, and drove my spirit away
