Letter To Laredo |
| As I was riding across the Mississippi stopped there and I cried |
| No use for a man to keep a mighty river all dammed up inside |
| I jumped bail from the Sweet water County, now I’m on the run |
| On my head is a five number bounty, for a crime I never done |
| Take this letter to Laredo, to one I love |
| Tell her to stay low, beneath the stars above |
| Her love is my only alibi, it’s for her love I lied |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Why did Frankie have to pull that trigger? |
| Why did you have to hide? |
| Sheriff still thinks I was standing with her, it’s for her love I lied |
| Love will make a free man a prisoner, make an honest man lie |
| Love can be tough, love can be tender, it’s my only alibi |
| Take this letter to Laredo, to one I love |
| Tell her to stay low, beneath the stars above |
| Her love is my only alibi, it’s for her love I lied |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Take this letter to Laredo, to the one I love |
| Tell her to stay low beneath the stars above |
| Her love is my only alibi, it’s for her love I lied |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Take this letter to Laredo |
| Tell her to stay low |
| Her love is my only alibi |
| It’s for her love I lied |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Take this letter to Laredo |
| Hey, hey, hey, hey |
