Murder In the City

If I get murdered in the city

Don't go revenging in my name

One person dead from such is plenty

No need to go get locked away

When I leave your arms

The things I think of

No need to get over alarmed

I'm coming home


I wonder which brother is better

Which one our parents loved the most

I sure did get in lots of trouble

They seemed to let the other go

A tear fell from my father's eye

I wondered what my dad would say

He said, "I love you and 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 bother with all my belongings, No

Pay attention to the list

Make sure my sister knows I love her

Make sure her mother knows the same

Always remember there was nothing worth sharing

Like the love that let us share our name

Always remember there was nothing worth sharing

Like the love that let us share our name
