I've Gotta Get A Message To You

The preacher talked with me, and he smiled

Said: "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile

Now, for once in your life you're alone

But, you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone"

I've just gotta get a message to you, hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

I told him, "I'm in no hurry

But, if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry?"

And, for once in my life, I'm alone

And, I gotta let her know, just in time, before I go

I've just gotta get a message to you, hold on, hold on

One more hour, and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

Well, I laughed, but that didn't hurt

And, it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt

Now, I'm crying, but deep, down inside

Well, I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just gotta get a message to you, hold on, hold on

One more hour, and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

I just gotta get a message to her, hold on, hold on

One more hour, and my life will be through, hold on
