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 gray head

The cowpoke 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

or none of the others

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
