Death Letter Lyrics - Step Back - Johnny Winter

Death Letter-Johnny Winter 

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, 

come the gal you 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 

I said, 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 ol' gal got to lay here 

'til the Judgment Day 

I walked up right close, 

I said I looked down in her face 

I said the good ol' gal, 

she got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day 

Looked like there was 10, 000 

people standin' round the buryin' ground 

I didn't know I loved her 

'til they laid her down 

Looked like 10, 000 

were standin' round the buryin' ground 

I loved her 'til they damn laid her down 

Well, I folded up my arms and I slowly walked away 

I said, "Farewell honey, 

I'll see you on Judgment Day" 

I folded up my arms 

Ah, yeah, oh, yes, I slowly walked away 

I'll see you on the Judgment Day" 

I didn't feel so bad, 

'til the good ol' sun went down 

You know, I didn't have nobody to throw my arms around 

Ah, hush, thought I heard her call my name 

If it wasn't so loud and so nice and plain 

Ah, hush, thought I heard her call my name 

If it wasn't so loud and so nice and plain
