Death In The Family — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

The reason why I`ve called us all together
Is to share with you some heartbreaking news
You see there`s been a death in the family and as relatives I thought it best you knew
By now you`ve noticed Betty`s not here with me
And Betty won`t be joining us tonight I said there`s been a death in the family
After all the many years that I`ve loved her she says she thinks it`s best we live apart
Really there`s been two deaths in the family Betty`s love for me and my poor heart
You`ll all miss her at our family renuion
And I know you`ll miss her smiles at Christmas time
But think of me and all the years I`ve loved her
And pray to God that I don`t lose my mind
Oh Lord there`s been a death in the family all I`ve ever loved just fell apart
Oh really there`s been two deaths in the family Betty`s love for me and my poor heart
