Luyện nghe bài hát Sittin' Up with the Dead

Well out in the country we have mortuaries
and so it was always
For the to do his job
and lay kin out there at home.

Well the church would ya foldin' chairs
and have visitation and everything right there
and the nighttime come you had to sit up with the dead
'cause it right to leave them alone.

The last time I sat up was '65 my old arthritic Uncle Fred died
he was 97 and so stooped over the morticians couldn't him out.
They used a loggin' chain to hold him down
and covered that all up with a cape and a
And didn't tell nobody in the
'cause that's the kind of thing folks just don't want to about

we were all sittin' there it was 3 in the mornin'
When there come up a cloud, a lightnin' and stormin'
The lightnin' flashed and the clapped
and the chain 'round old Fred went 'snap'
and rattled and fell to the floor with a
and Uncle Fred just sat up.

Well I sittin' up with the dead no more, I don't know 'bout you
I ain't up with the dead no more no matter what ya say or do.
They say the dead can't hurt ya cause already left
but what left can sure make ya hurt yourself.
And I ain't sittin up with the dead no since the dead started sittin up too.

Well when Uncle Fred sat up so did everybody
and there a great partin' of the foldin chairs.
The nearly knocked me down, he said
"I'm out that kitchen door over there."
I "Rev that kitchen ain't got no door in it"
He "Don't worry son, it will have in minute."
And I ain't seen so much jumpin' and shovin' before.

Then somebody stepped on the old cat's
it let out a scream, a screech, a
and to say the least that help to calm the situation down.
Then the lightnin' and that house went black
and I spoke to my feets I "Boys make tracks"
and I went out that screen door split for town.

Well I cut through the cemetary, in a hole.
It was Uncle grave and it was dark and cold.
Well the town dug it and he dug it too deep
and unbeknownst to me he's in there asleep
and I'm jumpin' and scratchin' to get out of that hole when he says
"Might as well over here and sit down beside me boy
'cause you gettin' outa here tonight."
But I did.

And I ain't sittin up with the no more, I don't know about you.
Well I ain't sittin' up with the no more no matter what ya say or do
They say the dead can't hurt ya 'cause already left
but what they left can make you hurt yourself.
And I ain't sittin up the dead no more since the dead started sittin up too.

Wasn't no sense in sittin' up with Uncle Fred anyhow... Uncle Fred gonna be sittin' up with his OWN self.

Next I'm just gonna send flowers... yeah...
