John Mellencamp – Death Letter Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Trouble No More

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
[ Death Letter lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/john-mellencamp/death-letter/ ]
^,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
