Death Letter Blues - Ida Cox
I received a letter that my man was dyin'
I received a letter that my man was dyin'
I caught the first plane and went back home flyin'
He wasn't dead but he was slowly dyin'
He wasn't dead but he was slowly dyin'
And to think of him I just can't help from cryin'
I followed my daddy to the buryin' ground
I followed my daddy to the buryin' 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 I wish I could take your place
