《A Letter from Home》歌词

[00:00:00] A Letter from Home - Johnny Cash

[00:00:10] A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day

[00:00:16] To a store down in old San Antone

[00:00:21] He stood at the window and I heard him say

[00:00:26] Do I have a letter from home

[00:00:31] The Postmaster looked through the mail that had come

[00:00:36] Then smilingly shook his gray head

[00:00:41] The cowpoke looked sadly a moment at him

[00:00:46] And these are the words that he said

[00:00:52] No letter from home no letter from home

[00:00:57] There's never a letter from home

[00:01:02] No message from mother or none of the others

[00:01:07] There's never a letter from home

[00:01:23] That night he was shot on the wrong side of town

[00:01:28] No more of those plains will he roam

[00:01:33] I reached for my bible and gave it to him

[00:01:38] And said son here's your letter from home

[00:01:44] If only I had just a little more time

[00:01:49] To read it the young cowpoke said

[00:01:54] I can't take it with me and I must go on

[00:01:59] Then he died with his letter unread

[00:02:04] The letter from home the letter from home

[00:02:09] No time for the letter from home

[00:02:14] The cowboy laid dead with his letter unread

[00:02:20] Too late for the letter from home
