Mail Order Gun
Del Shannon, Brian Hyland
[Verse 1]
It was near the English Channel
In the town of Dover
Upon a dark November day
He passed away
No one even noticed he was gone
Nobody even missed him at all
Lived by himself at the end of the hall
That's all
[Verse 2]
He's got friends and relatives
They live in New York City
And they should be notified
That he has died
Sixty-Four long years alone goodbye
He lived in the darkness afraid of thе sun
Ended his life with a mail order gun
[Verse 3]
No-onе cried, the church was empty
Such a tragic ending
But he'll rest in peace today
He's found a way
Kept his feelings locked inside his head
And he did what he thought must be done
Ended his life with a mail order gun
