| I wrote you a letter, mama |
| Put it in your front yard |
| I wrote you a letter |
| Put it in your front yard |
| I would love to come and see you |
| But your good man’s got me barred |
| You wrote me a letter |
| To come back the Newport noon |
| You wrote me a letter, mama |
| Come back the Newport noon |
| To leave the town |
| And don’t spread the news |
| I wrote you a letter, mama |
| Sent you a telegram |
| I wrote you a letter, mama |
| Sent you a telegram |
| Not to meet me in Memphis |
| But meet me in Birmingham |
| Um, hear me weep and moan |
| Um, hear me weep and moan |
| Don’t you hear my pleading? |
| Hear me grieve and groan |
| If I could get me one more drink of booze |
| If I could get me one more drink of booze |
| I guess it would ease these ol' writin' paper blues |
| I caught a freight train special |
| My mama caught a pass’ger behind |
| Caught a freight train special |
| My mama caught a pass’ger behind |
| Said you can’t quit me papa |
| There ain’t no need in tryin' |
