Lyrics Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn

The Dead Is a'Risin'

Lately, I've been finding out she's all you ever talk about

And I know she's still more than just a friend

You've been saying all along your love for her was dead and gone

But now the dead is risin' up again

And the dead is risin'

And to the livin', it's surprisin'

I never thought of thinking it would end

Ah but now old memories haunt me

Make me feel like you don't want me

And now the dead is risin' up again

I helped you bury all the hurt you gave

But now you're digging in her grave

Bringing up old memories from way back then

And as long as you still love her

There's no way we can save each other

'Cause now the dead is risin' up again

And the dead is risin'

And to the livin', it's surprisin'

I never thought of thinking it would end

Ah but now old memories haunt me

Make me feel like you don't want me

And now the dead is risin' up again
