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
