If I get murdered in the city Don't go revenging in my name One person dead from such is plenty There's no sense in gettin' locked away When I leave your arms The things that I think of No need to get over alarmed I'm coming home I wonder which of us is better Which one our parents loved the most I sure did get in lots of trouble They seemed to let the other go A tear fell from my father's eye I wondered what my dad would say He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both,
In so many different ways" If I get murdered in the city Go read the letter in my desk Don't bother with all my belongings, no Pay attention to the list Make sure my wife knows that I loved her Make sure my daughter knows the same Always remember there is nothing worth sharing Like the love that let us share our name Always remember there is nothing worth sharing Like the love that lets us share our name
