Mississippi Delta Blues |
| Dear sweetheart, as I write to you |
| My heart is filled with pain |
| For if these things I hear are true |
| I’ll never see you again |
| They tell me, darlin', that tonight |
| You’ll wed another man |
| But if you do, I’ll tell you true |
| My boat will never land |
| You promised that you would wait for me That nothin' could come between |
| That in my arms someday you’d be My wife and lovely queen |
| I builded you that cozy home |
| And made a garden there |
| And planted too with my own hands |
| Sweet flowers rich and rare |
| My future hopes are placed in you |
| You’ve been my guidin' star |
| Please write and tell me that you’re true |
| To the sailor who waits afar |
| Just tell me that you love me yet |
| Still long to be my wife |
| I’ll return and then we’ll wed |
| And live a happy life |
