Luyện nghe bài hát Sittin' Up with the Dead

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

Well the church would loan ya chairs
and you'd have visitation and right there
and when the nighttime come you had to sit up with the
it wasn't right 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 couldn't straighten him out.
They used a loggin' chain to hold him down
and covered all up with a cape and a gown
And didn't nobody in the family
'cause the kind of thing folks just don't want to know about

Well we were all sittin' it was 3 in the mornin'
When there come up a cloud, a thunderin and stormin'
The lightnin' flashed and the clapped
and the chain 'round old Uncle Fred 'snap'
and and fell to the floor with a thump
and Uncle just 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 no more no matter what ya say or do.
They say the dead can't hurt ya cause already left
but they left can sure make ya hurt yourself.
And I ain't sittin up with the dead no more since the dead sittin up too.

Well when Uncle Fred sat up so did there
and there came a great of the foldin chairs.
The preacher nearly me down, he said
"I'm headed out that kitchen door there."
I "Rev that kitchen ain't got no door in it"
He said "Don't worry son, it will 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 help to calm the situation down.
Then the lightnin' and that house went black
and I spoke to my I said "Boys make tracks"
and I went out that door lickety split for town.

Well I cut through the cemetary, in a hole.
It was Fred's grave and it was dark and cold.
the town drunk dug it and he dug it too deep
and unbeknownst to me he's 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 outa here tonight."
But I did.

And I ain't sittin up with the dead no more, I know about you.
I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more no matter what ya say or do
They say the can't hurt ya 'cause they already left
but what left can sure 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 done gonna be sittin' up with his OWN self.

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