A Letter from Home |
A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day to a store down in old San Antone |
He stood at the window and I heard him say do I have a letter from home |
The postmaster looked through the mail that had come |
Then smilingly shook his grey head |
The cowboke looked sadly a moment at him and these are the words that he said |
No letter from home no letter from home there’s never a letter from home |
(No message from mother and none from the other) there’s never a letter from |
home |
That night he was shot on the wrong side of town no more of those plains will |
he roam |
I reached for my Bible and gave it to him and said son here’s your letter from |
home |
If only I had just a little more time to read it the young cowpoke said |
I can’t take it with me and I must go 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 letter unread) too late for the letter from home |
