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
