Letter To Laredo(Album Version) - Joe Ely

作词：Joe Ely

作曲：Joe Ely

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
