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 foldin'
and you'd have visitation and everything right
and when the nighttime come you had to sit up with the
'cause it wasn't right to them alone.

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

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

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

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

I cut through the cemetary, fell in a hole.
It was Uncle Fred's grave and it was and cold.
Well the town dug it and he dug it too deep
and to me he's still in there asleep
and I'm jumpin' and scratchin' trying to get out of that hole when he
"Might as well come over here and sit beside me boy
'cause you gettin' outa here tonight."
But I did.

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

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

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