about

Written by Blues Pioneer Son House Death Letter Blues is a harsh reality kind of song about receiving a letter about your true loves death.

lyrics

I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead
I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead

I packed up my suitcase and headed on down the road
When I got there now people they had her laying on the cooling board
I packed up my suitcase and headed on down the road
When I got there now people they had her laying on the cooling board

I walked over to her Looked down in her face
This good woman lying here gonna see her at the judgement day
I walked over to her Looked down in her face
This good woman lying here gonna see her at the judgement day

Must have been ten thousand people by the burial mound
I didn’t know how much I loved her till they start to lay her down
Must have been ten thousand people by the burial mound
I didn’t know how much I loved her till they start to lay her down

I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead
I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead x3
