A Letter from Home - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day[00:00:10]
To a store down in old San Antone[00:00:16]
He stood at the window and I heard him say[00:00:21]
Do I have a letter from home[00:00:26]
The Postmaster looked through the mail that had come[00:00:31]
Then smilingly shook his gray head[00:00:36]
The cowpoke looked sadly a moment at him[00:00:41]
And these are the words that he said[00:00:46]
No letter from home no letter from home[00:00:52]
There's never a letter from home[00:00:57]
No message from mother or none of the others[00:01:02]
There's never a letter from home[00:01:07]
That night he was shot on the wrong side of town[00:01:23]
No more of those plains will he roam[00:01:28]
I reached for my bible and gave it to him[00:01:33]
And said son here's your letter from home[00:01:38]
If only I had just a little more time[00:01:44]
To read it the young cowpoke said[00:01:49]
I can't take it with me and I must go on[00:01:54]
Then he died with his letter unread[00:01:59]
The letter from home the letter from home[00:02:04]
No time for the letter from home[00:02:09]
The cowboy laid dead with his letter unread[00:02:14]
Too late for the letter from home[00:02:20]
