Luyện nghe bài hát Sittin' Up with the Dead

Well out in the country we didn't mortuaries
and so it was customary
For the to do his job
and lay your kin out at home.

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

The last time I sat up was '65 when my old arthritic Uncle Fred
he was 97 and so stooped the morticians couldn't straighten him out.
They used used a 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 of thing folks just don't want to know about

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

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

Well when Fred sat up so did everybody there
and came a great partin' of the foldin chairs.
The preacher nearly knocked me down, he
"I'm headed out that kitchen door there."
I said "Rev that kitchen ain't got no in it"
He "Don't worry son, it will have in minute."
And I ain't never seen so much and shovin' before.

Then somebody on the old cat's tail
it let out a scream, a screech, a
and to say the least didn't help to calm the situation down.
Then the flashed and that house went black
and I spoke to my feets I said "Boys tracks"
and I went out that screen lickety split for town.

Well I cut the cemetary, fell 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 still in there asleep
and I'm jumpin' and trying to get out of that hole when he says
"Might as well come over here and sit beside me boy
'cause you ain't 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 up with the dead no more no matter what ya say or do
They say the dead can't hurt ya 'cause they already
but they left can sure make you hurt yourself.
And I ain't sittin up the dead no more since the dead started sittin up too.
