Death Letter Lyrics - Out Of The Madness - The Derek Trucks Band

Got a letter this morning how you reckon it read 

Said hurry hurry gal you love is dead 

Got a letter this morning how do you reckon read 

It said "hurry hurry the gal you love is dead" 

Well, grabbed up my suitcase took off down the road 

When I go there she was laying on the cooling board 

Grabbed my suitcase and I took off down the road 

Well when I got there she was laying on the cooling board 

Well, walked up real close I looked down in her face 

That good old gal gonna lay here till judgment day 

walked real close, looking down in her face 

Well she's a good ol' gal, gonna lay here till judgment day 

Ohh hush, thought I heard her call my name 

It wasn't so loud, so nice and plain 

Mmm mmm hhmmm 

Well, wasn't so loud, whoah so nice and plain 

I ain't love but four women in my life 

My mother and my sister, dead gal and my wife 

Only loved four women in my life 

Well my mother and my sister, dead gal and my wife 

Look like ten thousand standing around the burial ground 

Didn't know I loved her till they laid her down 

Ten thousand standing around the burial ground 

Well I didn't know I loved her till they began to lay her down 

Laid her down
