Jacob Meadahl - Newspaper Blues Lyrics

She read it in the paper
And saw it on the news
Another poor boy
Dead and gone
Well she read it in the paper
And saw it on the news
Now there's another woman
Without her man

When the sun came up
And the moon went down
He was shot
In the chest
When the sun came up
And the moon went down
He fells to his knees
Bleeding before the Lord

He was just a kid
Trying to get through life
But his one mistake
Shot him dead
He was just a kid
Just trying to get through life
He tried to steal some food
Cause he was hungry and had no change

She turned the page over
And saw a picture of the scene
But there she read
His last words
She turned the page over
And saw a picture of the scene
He said moma won't you please
Come and bring your poor boy home
