White Stripes, The – Death Letter

I got a letter this morning

What do you reckon it read?

It said the gal you love is dead

I got a letter this morning

What do you reckon it read?

Said “Hurry, Hurry because the gal you love is dead”

Well I packed up my suitcase

I took off down the road

When I got there she was layin’ on the cooling board

I packed up my suitcase

And I took off down the road

When I got there she was layin’ on the cooling board

It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burial ground

I didn’t know I loved her ’till they began to let her down

Looked like ten thousand people standing on the burial ground

I didn’t know that I loved her ’till they began to let her down

You know it’s so hard to love

Someone that don’t love you

Won’t get satisfaction

Don’t care what you do

So hard to love

Someone that don’t love you

Don’t look like satisfaction

Don’t care what you do

Well I got up this morning

The break of day

Just hugging the pillows

She used to lay

Got up this morning

The break of day

Just hugging the pillows

Where my baby used to lay
