Lyrics:
on"
Then he died with his letter unread
The letter from home, the letter from home
No time for the letter from home
The cowboy laid dead with his
Fourteen years
Thirty minutes
Fifteen seconds I've
Held this grudge
Eleven songs
Four full journals
Thoughts of punishment
I've expended
Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention
Written in blood that flows from the pen tip
Dead letter, dead letter it'll never deliver
Well the new sheriff sent me a letter
Yes the new sheriff sent me a letter
He said, "Come up and see me dead or alive,
Come up and see me dead
Well the new sheriff sent me a letter
Yes the new sheriff sent me a letter
He said, "Come up and see me dead or alive,
Come up and see me dead
Well I wonder, I wonder, every place I go
Yeah you know I just wonder, I wonder, every place I go
My letter's gone dead, and my pencil it won't
Well the new sheriff sent me a letter
Yes the new sheriff sent me a letter
He said, "Come up and see me dead or alive,
Come up and see me dead
a letter edged in black
Well, he rang the bell and
Whistled as he waited
Then he said "Good mornin' to ya, Jack"
But he never knew the sorrow
That he
The night school comes to life
Every minute it gets better
Got to learn to enjoy the night
Follow every letter
(A)
Assess cleaned up the past is all
me
When he handed me a letter edged in black.
With trembling hands I took the letter from him
I open it and sifted what it said:
"Come home my boy,
me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that
me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that
the postman brought that letter yester morning
Saying,"Come home, my boy, your dear old mother's dead!:"
"Those angry words, I wish I'd never spoken,
You
Well, the new sher'ff wrote me a letter
Yes, the new sher'ff wrote me a letter
Come up and see me dead or alive
Come up and see me dead or alive
had fled
When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
"Saying come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead."
"The last words your mother
on"
Then he died with his letter unread
The letter from home, the letter from home
No time for the letter from home
The cowboy laid dead with his
Well, the new sheriff wrote me a letter
Yes, the new sheriff wrote me a letter
Come up and see me, dead or alive
Come up and see me, dead or alive
pronounced dead
Well, I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
Oh, when I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your
Place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that
I would talk on request
I'm never getting depressed
For a letter request
The public gets what is best
Gene is dead
More or less
It's never
Well the new sheriff sent me a letter
Yes the new sheriff sent me a letter
He said, "Come up and see me dead or alive,
Come up and see me dead
letters
Written by my true love's hand
[Go and bring them to me sister
Read them o'er for me tonight
I have often tried but I could not
For the tears that
the war is through
The second letter I got from him
The war was just ahead
The third one, wrote by his captain
My darling dear was dead
I'll keep all
Wars, kill, guns, hate
Hurt, harm, dead
Ball, fire, burn
Are four-letter words
Beat, take, hide, stay
Raid, flee, bled
Fear, weep, maim
Are
