Dead Or Alive - Woody Guthrie

Dead or alive, it’s a hard road

Dead or alive, it’s a hard road

Dead or alive

Well the new sheriff sent me a letter

Oh the new sheriff sent me a letter

Come up and see me, dead or alive

Come up and see me, dead or alive

Well, he even sent me my picture (2x)

How do I look, boys, dead or alive (2x)

Well he said he would pay expenses

Dead or alive, hey, hey

Well, he said he would clothe and feed me

Dead or alive, poor boy

Well I’m sorry that I can’t come sheriff

Dead or alive, poor boy

I don’t like your hard rock hotel

Dead or alive, no sheriff

I’ve gotta go and see my little sweet thing

Dead or alive, yes sheriff
