Titel: A Letter From Home
Artist: Maybelle Carter
Album: Folk Legend (2006)
Orig.: G#
Intro: G Am Bm A G
G D7 G
A cowboy rode in, on one hot dusty day
D
To a store down in old San Antone
C G
He stood at the window and I heard him say
D7 G
Do I have a letter from home
G D7 G
The postmaster looked through the mail that had come
D
Then smilingly shook his gray head
C G
The cowboy looked sadly a moment at him
D7 G
And these are the words that he said
G C G
No letter from home, no letter from home
D
There's never a letter from home
G C G
No message from mother or none of the others
D G Am Bm Am G
There's never a letter from home
G D7 G
That night he was shot on the wrong side of town
D
No more on the plains will he roam
C G
I reached for my Bible and took it to him
D7 G
Said, "Son here's your letter from home"
G D7 G
"If only I had just a little more time
D
To read it", the young cowboy said
C G
"I can't take it with me and I must go on"
D7 G
He died with his letter unread
G C G
No letter from home, no letter from home
D
There's never a letter from home
G C G
The cowboy lay dead with his letter unread
D G
Too late for the letter from home
