Got to write a note to my little Mary-Jane in Mexico I can go home, and maybe they hang me tonight Gonna leave this world With the loneliest train that ever goes I've found me a place And maybe I am going tonight And the people ask, why why why Did you k** that man Why did you shoot him down Why, why, why, did You ever come With a gun to this town Gotta write a note to my little Mary-Jane who waits for me I can't go home I'm so afraid now to die Gonna leave this place With the loneliest train you've ever seen God bless my soul I am sorry but try not to cry And the people ask, why why why Did you k** that man Why did you shoot him down Why,why,why, did you ever come With a gun to this town And the people ask, why why why Did you k** that man Why did you shoot him down Why,why,why did you ever come With a gun to this town Why,why,why, did you k** that man Why did you shoot him down Why,why,why did you ever come With a gun to this town Why,why,why, did you k** that man Why did you shoot him down
