LETTER FROM MY DARLING (Bill Monroe)
from True Life Blues, The Songs Of Bill Monroe (Sugar Hill, SHCD-2209)
G
I can`t answer her letter,
G D
For she left me no address.
G
You should know my little darling,
G D G
You left my poor heart in distress.
Chorus:
G
I got a letter from my darling,
G D
She said she hated to go.
G
It broke my heart the words she wrote me,
G D G
She closed by saying I love you so.
This letter meant goodbye forever,
Though we`ll have each other`s hearts.
Our love will fade away in sadness,
Precious one why do we have to part?
(Chorus)
She wrote the words she knew would hurt me,
She said I never could be true.
I`ve tried, I`ved tried my little darling,
To prove my love was just for you.
(Chorus)
