Letter To Laredo lyrics
Song information
Artist: Ely Joe Album: Best Of Joe Ely
Lyrics
As I was rolling across the mississippi I stopped there and I cried No use for a man to keep a mighty river All dammed up inside
I jumped bail from the sweetwater 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 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, yeah
"Why did frankie have to pull that trigger? Why did you have to hide? The sheriff still thinks I was standing with her It's for your love I lied."
"Love will make a free man a prisioner Will make an honest man lie Love can be tough, love can be tender It's my only alibi"
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, yeah..
