Yes, the new sheriff wrote me a letter
Come up and see me, dead or alive
Come up and see me, dead or alive

Dead or alive, if 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?

Dead or alive, no thanks!
New sheriff, I'm a poor boy

No thanks, I'm a poor boy (Chorus 2)
I gotta go down and see my little sweet thing f
Gonna go down and see my little sweet thing
Dead or alive, yes, Lord!
No thanks, new sheriff (Chorus 2)
