I got a letter this morning

how do you reckon it read?

hurry the gal you love is dead



I got a letter this morning

I'm wondering

how you reckon it read

he said, hurry, hurry

on account that gal you love is dead



I grabbed up my suitcase

I took off down the road



Sister, do you know my name?

Well we're back in school again

and I don't really know anyone

I really want to be your friend

cause I don't really know anyone



And the bus is pulling

up to your house

I wish you could be sitting here

next to me

i didn't see you at summer school

but I saw you at the corner store

and I don't want to break the rules

cause I've broken them all before

But every time I see you

I wonder why

I don't break a couple rules

so that you'll notice me



Sister do you know my name?

I've heard it before but I want you to know



I got a funny feeling

that it's gonna work out

cause now I see you sitting here

next to me
