Maggie Jones - 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 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

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

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""

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
