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 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 that I'm sorry, Lord

And for once in my life I'm alone

And I've got to let her 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

I laughed but that didn't hurt

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

Now I'm cryin' but deep down inside

Well, I did it to him, 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 just gotta get a message to you (Hold on)

Hold on (Hold on), hold on (Hold on)

One more hour and my life will be through (Hold on)

Hold on (Hold on), hold on (Hold on)

Hold on (Hold on), hold on (Hold on)
