Suicide Blues by Maggie Jones Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Took a Smith & Wesson, and blew out my brain
Took a Smith & Wesson, and blew out my brain
Didn't take no poison, I couldn't stand the strain

[Verse 3]
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 tired of living, but wasn't read' to die

[Verse 4]
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 daddy threw me down"

[Verse 5]
In my farewell letter, someone's sure to find
In my farewell letter, someone's sure to find
So, goodbye old cold world, I'm glad you're left behind
I'm gone
