12 Bar, G.
I got a letter from a lonely boy
I got a letter from a lonely boy
Said he wasted his life in a bank
The best years of his life
The best years of his life
Were spent groveling on the deck
They fed him food too rich to swallow
They fed him food too rich to swallow
They made him wallow like a boar
He said that he never got his fill
He said that he never got his fill
He was loaded but wanted more
The humblest advice he had to offer
The humblest advice he had to offer
If you see a topcoat run for your life
The best advice he had to offer
The best advice he had to offer
Not every killing wound is made by a knife
I got a letter from a lonely boy
I got a letter from a lonely boy
Who wasted his life wandering and lost
I broke the letter down into pieces
I broke the letter down into pieces
Left with my woman, my bible, and my cloth
