Ruth Walters - Dead Folk Don't Talk

Ruth Walters - Dead Folk Don't Talk

On the day she died they all came, br though I was shocked they recalled her name br but they drank our booze and ate our cake br yeah they ate our cake al-right. br br Maybe they meant well br maybe not br but you can't keep dead folk company br for dead folk, they don't talk. br br Nobody came and nobody called br when she was ill and dying. br Nobody seemed to care at all br and now they're all here crying. br br Maybe they meant well br maybe not br but you can't keep dead folk company br for dead folk, they don't talk. br br So I sat there dazed and out of control br listening to them talking, br but when she were alive, the house was still, br just me and mother sighing. br br And afterwards, when they all went br I carried out her last requests. br I moved her gas fire, paid the rent br and left a note to the dairyman. br br Nobody came and nobody called br when she was ill and dying. br Nobody seemed to care at all br and if they say they did, they're lying.
