I've Gotta Get a Message to You

The preacher talked to me and he smiled

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

And 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 got to 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've got to let her know, just in time before I go

I've just go to 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

And now I'm crying, but deep down inside

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

I've just got to 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 you

I just gotta, get a message, get a message to you

Hold on

Hold

Hold on

Hold on

One more hour and my life will be through, oh

One more hour, one more hour, my life'll be through

Hold on

Oh, hold on

Hold on
