Testo di Death Letter Blues

I received a letter, it was addressed in red I received a letter, it was addressed in red It said "Come on home daddy, your mama is dead" I went to the depot, caught the train a-flyin' I went to the depot, caught the train a-flyin' When I walked in her door, saw my little baby's dyin' I went to her bedside, looked down in her face I went to her bedside, looked down in her face Said "I love you, love you, baby but I just can't take your place" Well you don't mind your water, until your well runs dry Well you don't mind your water, until your well runs dry You don't miss your mama, till the day she's gonna die
