As I was riding across the Mississippi Stopped there and I cried No use for a man to keep a mighty river All dammed up inside I jumped bail from the Sweet Water County Now I'm on the run On my head is a five number bounty For a crime I never done Take this letter to Laredo, to one I love Tell her to stay low, beneath the stars above Her love is my only alibi, it's for her love I lied Yeah, yeah, yeah Why did Frankie have to pull that trigger Why did you have to hide Sheriff still thinks I was standing with her It's for her love I lied Love will make a free man a prisoner Make an honest man lie Love can be tough, love can be tender It's my only alibi Take this letter to Laredo, to one I love Tell her to stay low, beneath the stars above Her love is my only alibi, it's for her love I lied Yeah, yeah, yeah Take this letter to Laredo, to the one I love Tell her to stay low beneath the stars above Her love is my only alibi, it's for her love I lied Yeah, yeah Take this letter to Laredo Tell her to stay low Her love is my only alibi It's for her love I lied Yeah, yeah Take this letter to Laredo Hey, hey, hey, hey
