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

Hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

I've just gotta get a message to her

Hold on, hold on
