Your Letter

(album: Blues In My Heart - 1962)

Yes your letter reached me early this morning baby
and I read every word you had to say
I said your letter reached me early this morning baby
and I read every word you had to say
But you know I just don't understand you waman
If you love me why in the world did you go away

Your letter said that you're doing ok
But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."
Your letter said that you're doing ok
But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."
Yes, you said you were so tired, so tired baby
And you wanted someone you could call your own

But memories don't fail me woman
I remember the day you left
Oh my memories don't fail me baby
I remember the day you left
Well you know you told me then and I believe you now woman
That you were grown and you've been take care of yourself

So now here is my answer baby
And the words come straight from my heart
Well, here is the answer to you letter woman
And the words come straight from my heart
Yeah it's against my will I know
I could love you still baby
But baby I just can't play the part
