作曲：Son House

作词：Son House

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

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

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

Yes 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 oh yes

I slowly walk away

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 aroundarms

I didn't feel so bad

'Til the good ol'Sun down

You know it's so hard to love

Someone

Don't love you

Look like it ain't satisfaction

And what you do

Yeah: so hard

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 there

The walking blues

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

It's wasn't so loud

It's so nice and plain
