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 there
and when the 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 don't want to know about

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

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

when Uncle Fred sat up so did everybody there
and there came a great of the foldin chairs.
The preacher knocked me down, he said
"I'm out that kitchen door over there."
I said "Rev 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.

somebody stepped on the old cat's tail
it let out a scream, a screech, a
and to say the least that didn't 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 screen door split for town.

I cut through 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 he's still in there
and I'm jumpin' and scratchin' trying to get out of that hole when he
"Might as well come here and sit down beside me boy
you ain't gettin' outa here tonight."
But I did.

And I sittin up with the dead no more, I don't know about you.
I ain't sittin' 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 they left can sure make you yourself.
And I sittin up with the dead no more since the dead started sittin up too.

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

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