No answer to my love letter
To ease my aching heart
Oh, why oh why should love permit
For lovers like us to part
Chorus:
No letter in the mail today
No answer from my love
Oh no one knows what I’ve been through
No one but God above
This is what I wrote to her
I know that I’m to blame
Oh let me prove my love once more
And then I signed my name
Chorus
I’m walking down this lonesome road
I’ll travel while I cry
If there’s no letter in the mail
I’ll bid this world goodbye
Chorus
