Leroy Carr - Suicide Blues lyrics

If somebody finds me, when I'm dead and gone If somebody finds me, when I'm dead and gone Say I did self‑murder, I died with my boots on Took me a Smith and Wesson, and blew out my brains Took me a Smith and Wesson, and blew out my brains I didn't take no poison, I couldn't stand the strain No I ain't no coward, and I'll tell you why No I ain't no coward, and I'll tell you why I was just tired of living, but wasn't afraid to die Take me to the graveyard, put me in the ground Take me to the graveyard, put me in the ground Please write on my tombstone, my woman threw me down In my farewell letter, someone's sure to find In my farewell letter, someone's sure to find Goodbye old cruel world, I'm glad I left you behind
