Luyện nghe bài hát Sittin' Up with the Dead

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

Well the church would loan ya foldin'
and you'd have visitation and everything right
and the nighttime come you had to sit up with the dead
'cause it wasn't right to leave alone.

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

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

I ain't 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 they left can sure make ya yourself.
And I ain't up with the dead no more since the dead started sittin up too.

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

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

Well I cut the cemetary, fell in a hole.
It was Uncle Fred's 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 scratchin' trying to get out of hole when he says
"Might as come over here and sit down beside me boy
'cause you ain't gettin' outa tonight."
But I did.

And I ain't sittin up the dead 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 they already left
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.

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

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