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 your kin out at home.

Well the church would loan ya chairs
and have visitation and everything right there
and when the nighttime come you had to sit up with the
'cause it wasn't to leave them alone.

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

Well we were all sittin' 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 Uncle went 'snap'
and and fell to the floor with a thump
and Uncle Fred sat right up.

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

when Uncle Fred sat up so did everybody there
and there came a partin' of the foldin chairs.
The nearly knocked me down, he said
"I'm headed out kitchen door over there."
I said "Rev that kitchen got no door in it"
He "Don't worry son, it will have in minute."
And I ain't never 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 didn't help to the situation down.
Then the lightnin' flashed and that went black
and I spoke to my I said "Boys make tracks"
and I went out that screen lickety split for town.

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

And I ain't up with the dead no more, I don't know about you.
Well 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 already left
but what they left can make 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 gonna be sittin' up with his OWN self.

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