Lyrics

You know i didn t feel so bad, how come the gal you love is dead?
and i said i looked down in her face
I said i bowed down to pray, i wouldn t mistreat you baby
I ll see you on the judgment day., farewell honey

you know i went in my room
and i said and i took off down the road
i folded up my arms and i slowly walked away
I wouldn t mistreat you baby, looked like 10,000 were standin round the buryin ground Wilson, i walked up right close

And took off down the road, you know i wouldn t mistreat nobody
I walked up right close, looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground
I ll see you on judgment day., not for my weight in gold Death, i grabbed up my suitcase
I wouldn t mistreat you baby, i said the blues came along and drove my spirit away, i grabbed up my suitcase

Looked like 10,000 were standin round the buryin ground, looked like 10,000 were standin round the buryin ground, i said the good ole gal
I folded up my arms and i slowly walked away, your love is dead.
I said i bowed down to pray, i went in my room
I didn t know i loved her til they laid her down, and i said i looked down in her face

I bowed down to pray, have mercy on my wicked soul, i bowed down to pray
You know i went in my room, i said i bowed down to pray
i said i bowed down to pray
how do you reckon it read

The blues came along and drove my spirit away, and i said i looked down in her face Cassandra, looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground
i say how do you reckon it read
the good ole gal got to lay here til the judgment day
you know i didn t feel so bad

have mercy on my wicked soul
i got a letter this mornin
I got a letter this mornin, i grabbed up my suitcase
Farewell honey, but when i got there she was already layin on a coolin board

I walked up right close, i grabbed up my suitcase
she got to lay here til the judgment day
I ll see you on judgment day., i say how do you reckon it read Wilson, have mercy on my wicked soul
Farewell honey, and took off down the road

And i said i looked down in her face, you know i went in my room Cassandra, i grabbed up my suitcase
looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground
I wouldn t mistreat you baby, looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground Death, farewell honey
And i said and i took off down the road, you know i didn t feel so bad

you know i didn t feel so bad
For my weight in gold, your love is dead., i bowed down to pray
And i said i looked down in her face, the good ole gal got to lay here til the judgment day, for my weight in gold
I got a letter this mornin, have mercy on my wicked soul Wilson, and i said i looked down in her face

How do you reckon it read, i went in my room
i grabbed up my suitcase
I said i bowed down to pray, not for my weight in gold
I didn t know i loved her til they laid her down, i bowed down to pray Letter, i folded up my arms and i slowly walked away

not for my weight in gold
How do you reckon it read, i walked up right close
Have mercy on my wicked soul, i didn t have a soul to throw my arms around, i didn t know i loved her til they laid her down
She got to lay here til the judgment day, i wouldn t mistreat you baby

I said i bowed down to pray, have mercy on my wicked soul
how come the gal you love is dead?
When i got there she was layin on a coolin board, and i said and i took off down the road
and i said i looked down in her face

Til the good ole sun went down, i didn t have a soul to throw my arms around
And i said i looked down in her face, looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground, you know i didn t know i loved her til they damn laid her down
I bowed down to pray, i went in my room Wilson, i didn t have a soul to throw my arms around
I wouldn t mistreat you baby, the good ole gal got to lay here til the judgment day

farewell honey
You know i didn t know i loved her til they damn laid her down, i ll see you on the judgment day., the good ole gal got to lay here til the judgment day
I wouldn t mistreat you baby, i said the blues came along and drove my spirit away Death, i said i bowed down to pray
i slowly walked away
