If I get murdered in the city,   Don’t go revengin' in my name   One person dead from such is plenty   No need to go get locked away      When I leave your arms   The things that I think of   No need to get over-alarmed   I’m comin' home      I wonder which brother is better,   Which one our parents love the most   I sure did get in lots of trouble   They said to let the other go      A tear fell from my father’s eyes   I wondered what my dad would say   He said "I love you   And I’m proud of you both, in so many different ways"      If I get murdered in the city,   Go read the letter in my desk   Don’t worry with all my belongings,   But pay attention to the list      Make sure my sister knows I loved her   Make sure my mother knows the same   Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing   Like the love that let us share our name   Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing   Like the love that let us share our name
