Death Letter Blues - Son House

This song is heartbreaking...

I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read?
It said, "Hurry, hurry, the girl you love is dead."
I got a letter this mornin, I say how do you reckon it read?
You know, it said, "Hurry, hurry, 'cause the girl you love is dead?"

So, I grabbed up my suitcase, and took off down the road.
But 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 old girl got to lay here til the Judgement 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 Judgement Day.

Looked like there was 10,000 people standing round the burying ground.
I didn't know I loved her til they let her down.
Looked like 10,000 were standing round the burying ground.
You know I didn't know I loved her, til they began to let her down.

Well, I folded up my arms and I slowly walked away.
I said, "Farewell honey, I'll see you Judgement Day."
Yeah, oh yes, I walked away.
I said, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you Judgement Day."

You know I didn't feel so bad, til the good old sun went down.
I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around,
I didn't feel so bad, til the good old sun went down.

You know its so hard to love, someone don't love you
Ain't no satisfaction, you don't care what you do
Yes, its so hard to love someone don't love you
You know you can't get no satisfaction, you don't care what you do

Well I woke up this morning, the break of day,
Just hugging the pillows, where she used to lay,
So this morning, the break of day
You know I was hugging the pillows, where my good girl used to lay

I got up this morning, feeling round for my shoes,
you know I must have had the walking blues
So this morning, feeling round for my shoes,
you know I must have had the walking blues

Oh hush... I thought I heard her call my name,
It weren't so loud, so nice and plain.
