Johnny Winter - Death Letter lyrics

rate me

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, your 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

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 old gal got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day

I walked up right close, and I said I looked down in her face

I said the good old girl,

She got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day

I thought of her to call my name

She didn’t call so loud

So nice and plain

I thought of her to call my name

She didn’t call so loud

She called so nice and plain
