Woody Guthrie - Dead or Alive 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
