As I Was Rolling Across The Mississippi
I Stopped There And I Cried
No Use For A Man To Keep A Mighty River
All Dammed Up Inside

I Jumped Bail From The Sweetwater County
Now I'm On The Run
On My Head Is A Five Number Bounty
For A Crime I Never Done

Take This Letter To Laredo
To The One I Love
Tell Her To Stay Low
Beneath The Stars Above
Her Love Is My Only Alibi
It's For Her Love I Lied
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah


"Why Did Frankie Have To Pull That Trigger?
Why Did You Have To Hide?
The Sheriff Still Thinks I Was Standing With Her
It's For Your Love I Lied."

"Love Will Make A Free Man A Prisioner
Will Make An Honest Man Lie
Love Can Be Tough, Love Can Be Tender
It's My Only Alibi"

Take This Letter To Laredo
To The One I Love
Tell Her To Stay Low
Beneath The Stars Above
Her Love Is My Only Alibi
It's For Her Love I Lied...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...
