Woody Guthrie - Dead or Alive (Poor Lazarus) lyrics

Well, the new sher'ff wrote me a letter Yes, the new sher'ff wrote me a letter: Come up and see me dead or alive Come up and see me dead or alive Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive Well, he even sent me my picture: Yes, he even sent me my picture; How do I look, boys, dead or alive? How do I look, boys, dead or alive? Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive Well, he said he would pay expenses: Yes, he said he would pay expenses; Dead or alive, no thank! New sheriff, I'm a poor boy Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive Well, he said he would feed and clothe me; Yes, mhe said he would feed and clothe me; Dead or alive, no thanks! New sheriff, I'm a poor boy Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive Well, I'm sorry I can't come, sheriff; Yes, I'm sorry but I can't come, sheriff; Dead or alive, no thanks! New sheriff, I'm a poor boy Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive I don't like your hard-rock hotel; I don't like your hard-rock hotel; Dead or alive, new sheriff No thanks, I'm a poor boy Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive I gotta go down and see my little sweet thing; Gonna go down and see my little sweet thing; Dead or alive, yes, Lord! No thanks, new sheriff Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive
