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 ya foldin' chairs
and have visitation and everything right there
and when the come you had to sit up with the dead
'cause it wasn't to leave them alone.

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

Well we all sittin' there it was 3 in the mornin'
When there come up a cloud, a thunderin lightnin' and
The flashed and the thunder clapped
and the 'round old Uncle Fred went 'snap'
and and fell to the floor with a thump
and Uncle Fred sat right up.

Well I ain't 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 hurt ya cause they already left
but what left can sure make ya hurt yourself.
And I sittin up with the dead no more since the dead started sittin up too.

Well when Fred sat up so did everybody there
and there came a great partin' of the chairs.
The preacher nearly knocked me down, he
"I'm headed out kitchen door over there."
I said "Rev kitchen ain't got no door in it"
He said "Don't worry son, it have 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 didn't to calm the situation down.
Then the lightnin' flashed and that house went
and I spoke to my feets I "Boys make tracks"
and I went out that screen door lickety for town.

Well I cut the cemetary, fell in a hole.
It was Uncle Fred's and it was dark and cold.
Well the drunk dug it and he dug it too deep
and unbeknownst to me he's in there asleep
and I'm and scratchin' trying to get out of that hole when he says
"Might as well come over here and sit down me boy
'cause you ain't outa here tonight."
But I did.

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

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

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