Letter to Laredo

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...
