| I’m so blue, lonesome, too
|
| And I wonder where you are tonight
|
| Not one word have I heard
|
| If you think of me, why don’t you write?
|
| Oh, dear, how I need one sweet letter from you
|
| How I’d love to read one sweet letter from you
|
| You know that you left me so worried and blue
|
| I always keep singing, oh, what’ll I do
|
| Though it’s not fair, and you don’t care for me dearly
|
| Drop me a line, if you just sign, 'Yours sincerely'
|
| You know that I’m praying the night and day through
|
| Just hoping I’ll get one sweet letter from you
|
| Mail for Missus Jones
|
| Missus Jones don’t need it
|
| Missus Jones is happy all the day
|
| Mail for Missus Brown
|
| Missus Brown don’t read it
|
| Opens them and throws them right away
|
| Mail man rings, then he sings
|
| «Got some letters for you»
|
| Here’s what he brings
|
| Mail for the baker
|
| My dress maker
|
| Word from the landlord, too
|
| I get letters from everybody
|
| Not a single word from you
|
| Here’s what to do, even though you never crave me
|
| And though you lie, say that you cry, it might save me
|
| You know that I’m praying the night and day through
|
| Just hoping I’ll get one sweet letter from you
|
| Since you’re gone, I keep on
|
| Feeling just as sorry as can be
|
| I just wrote you a note
|
| I’d be happy if you’d answer me
|
| Oh, dear, how I need one sweet letter from you
|
| How I’d love to read one sweet letter from you
|
| You know that you left me so worried and blue
|
| I always keep singing, oh, what’ll I do
|
| Though it’s not fair, and you don’t care for me dearly
|
| Drop me a line, if you just sign, 'Yours sincerely'
|
| You know that I’m praying the night and day through
|
| Just hoping I’ll get one sweet letter from you |
