If somebody finds me when I'm dead and gone
If somebody finds me when I'm dead and gone
Say I did self‑murder I died with my boots on
Took me a Smith and Wesson and blew out my brains
Took me a Smith and Wesson and blew out my brains
I didn't take no poison I couldn't stand the strain
No I ain't no coward and I'll tell you why
No I ain't no coward and I'll tell you why
I was just tired of living but wasn't afraid to die
Take me to the graveyard put me in the ground
Take me to the graveyard put me in the ground
Please write on my tombstone my woman threw me down
In my farewell letter someone's sure to find
In my farewell letter someone's sure to find
Goodbye old cruel world I'm glad I left you behind
