Muddy Waters - Sad Letter lyrics

About this lyric:

Recorded in Chicago, March 1972

I got a letter this mornin'
This is the way my letter read
I got a letter this mornin'
This is the way my letter read
&quot;Come on home, Muddy Waters
They tell me your baby's dead&quot;

I start to write
But I believe I'll go myself
No, I ain't gonna write
I believe I'll go myself
A letter too slow
They tell me a telegram may get left
I hate to go home this mornin', boy

There'll be a crowd of people
Standin' there before my baby's house
There'll be a crowd of people
Standin' there before my baby's house
And then everybody'll be wonderin'
What in the world this racket about

Said I wasn't goin'
To my baby's buryin' ground
No I ain't goin'
To my baby's buryin' ground
I was standin' right there
When the grave digger let her down
