09 Jan 06 - 01:23 PM (#1645056) Subject: Lyr Add: A LETTER FROM HOME (Maybelle Carter) From: GLoux As I hear it: A LETTER FROM HOME (Maybelle Carter) A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day To a store down in old San Antone. He stood at the window and I heard him say: "Do I have a letter from home?" The postmaster looked through the mail that had come, Then smilingly shook his gray head. The cowpoke looked sadly a moment at him And these are the words that he said: CHORUS 1: "No letter from home, no letter from home! There's never a letter from home. No message from mother, Or none of the others; There's never a letter from home." That night he was shot on the wrong side of town. No more on those plains will he roam. I reached for my Bible and gave it to him, And said: "Son, here's your letter from home." "If only I had just a little more time To read it," the young cowpoke said. "I can't take it with me and I must go on." Then he died with his letter unread. CHORUS 2: The letter from home, the letter from home, No time for the letter from home! The cowboy lay dead With his letter unread, Too late for the letter from home. ------ In the liner notes to Johnny Cash's Ballads of the True West, Johnny wrote about A Letter From Home: I asked Mother Maybelle Carter one night to write me a Western song for this album. The next morning she gave me this. Since the Bible on the plains was as uncommon as a letter from home, many cowboys called it that. Hope this helps, -Greg |
