I've Got to Get a Message to You

The preacher talked to me and he smiled

He 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 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 his heart

Then won't you tell him I'm sorry?

And for once in my life, I'm alone

And I gotta let him know 

Just in time before I go

I 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 his love 

That keeps me wearing this dirt

Now I'm crying, but deep down inside

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

I 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'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've just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on
