"If I Get Murdered In The City (Appalachain Roots Revival, Boone NC)"


If I get murdered in the city,
don't go revengin' in my name.
One person dead from such is plenty,
no need to go get locked away
When I leave your arms,
Some things I think of
No need to get over-alarmed
I'm coming home.

I wonder which brother is better
I sure did get in lots of trouble,
they seem to let the other go.
A tear fell from my father's eyes,
I wondered what my dad would say.
Said I love you,
but i'm proud of you both,
In so many different ways.

If I get murdered in the city,
go read the letter in my desk.
Don't trouble with all my belongings,
but pay attention to my list.
Make sure my sister knows I love her,
make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name.
