Death Letter Blues (Take 1) - Ida Cox

I received a letter that my man was dying

I received a letter that my man was dying

I caught the plane and went home flying

When i got there the folks had gathered around

When i got there the folks had gathered around

His eyes was set and his face was full of frowns

He wasn't dead but he was slowly dying

He wasn't dead but he was slowly dying

And to think of him i just can't help from crying

I followed my daddy to the burying ground

I followed my daddy to the burying ground

I watched the pall bearers slowly let him down

That was the last time i saw my daddy's face

That was the last time i saw my daddy's face

Mama love you sweet papa but wish i could take your place
