Death Letter Lyrics

Penrose Death Letter

I got a letter this morning babe
What do you reckon it read
I got a letter this morning child
I said what do you reckon it read

It said, "Hurry hurry
Cause that girl you love is dead."

Well I packed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
When I got there she was
She was layin' on the coolin' board
Well I packed up my suitcase
And I took off down that road
It was a lonesome road
And when I got there she was
She was layin' on the coolin' board

Now what's a man to do?

It looked like ten thousand people
Standin' on the burying ground
They didn't know that I'd loved her
Till they began to let her down
Looked like ten thousand
People standin on the burying ground
They didn't know that I'd loved her
Till they began to let her down
They let her right down

Now it's so hard to love
Somebody when they don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction boy
I don't care what you do
And it's so hard to love
That person when they don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction boy
And I don't care what you do

I don't care one damn bit
