As I write this letter to you darling

I can't hold the teardrops

from my eyes
I can't hold the teardrops

from my eyes
For at sundown

I will lay a dying, at the door

ofthe Fool's Paradise
I will lay a dying, at the door

ofthe Fool's Paradise
Rode into this cattle town

this morning, left my herd

to check the market price

to check the market price
And I walked into the

nearest barroom, they called

it the Fool's Paradise
nearest barroom, they called

it the Fool's Paradise
There the crowd was gay

and girls were dancing

And the men were
playing cards and dies

And the men were
So I stepped up to the bar

to join them, what a grand place
It was then I showed

to them your picture
I passed it around once or twice

Then a man insulted your

sweet honor. at the
Then a man insulted your

sweet honor. at the
bar ofthe Fool's Paradise.

So I slapped his face and ltold him

So I slapped his face and ltold him

I said you eat them words Mister
So goodbye my darling

may God bless you
I go to make this sacrifice

And if ever you visit old Dodge City
