Poor Lazarus |
Dead or alive, it’s a hard road |
Dead or alive, it’s a hard road |
Dead or alive |
Well the new sheriff sent me a letter |
Oh the new sheriff sent me a letter |
Come up and see me, dead or alive |
Come up and see me, dead or alive |
Well, he even sent me my picture (2x) |
How do I look, boys, dead or alive (2x) |
Well he said he would pay expenses |
Dead or alive, hey, hey |
Well, he said he would clothe and feed me |
Dead or alive, poor boy |
Well I’m sorry that I can’t come sheriff |
Dead or alive, poor boy |
I don’t like your hard rock hotel |
Dead or alive, no sheriff |
I’ve gotta go and see my little sweet thing |
Dead or alive, yes sheriff |
