A cowpope rode in one hot,
dusty day
G
D
To a store down in old St. Antone
C
He stood at the window,
G
and I heard him say,
D
G
Do I have a letter from home?
The postmaster looked through
D
G
the mail that had come,
D
Then smilingly shook his gray head.
C
The cowpoke looked sadly
G
a moment at him,
D

And these are the words that he
No letter from home,
C

no letter from home,

home.
That night he was shot
D
G
on the wrong side of town
D
No more on those planes will he roam
C
G
I reached for my Bible and gave it to him
D
G
And said, son, here's your letter from home
D
G
If only I had just a little more time to read it,
D
the young Kell Polk said
C
I can't take it with me
G
and I must go on,
D
then he died with his letter unread
G
The letter from home,
C
G
the letter from home
D
No time for the letter from home

The cowboy lay dead with his letter unread
G

Too late for the letter from home
