《The Letter That Never Came》歌词

[00:00:00] The Letter That Never Came - Charlie Poole

[00:00:21] Is there any mail for me

[00:00:23] Was the question that he asked

[00:00:25] Of the postman at the closing of the day

[00:00:30] But he turned away and sighed

[00:00:33] While a tear stood in his eye

[00:00:35] As he drooped his head and slowly walked away

[00:00:40] Was it from a gray haired mother

[00:00:42] Or a sister or a brother

[00:00:45] He waited all these many years in vain

[00:00:49] Oh from early morning light

[00:00:51] He would wait till dark at night

[00:00:54] For the letter but alas it never came

[00:01:16] As he waited all these years

[00:01:19] Joy mingled with his tears

[00:01:21] His poor soul had faded out with the tide

[00:01:25] In his hand he held a note

[00:01:28] And those simple words he wrote

[00:01:30] If the letter comes just place it by my side

[00:01:34] Was it from a gray haired mother

[00:01:37] Or a sister or a brother

[00:01:39] He waited all these many years in vain

[00:01:43] Oh from early morning light

[00:01:45] He would wait till dark at night

[00:01:48] For the letter but alas it never came

[00:02:10] Was it from a gray haired mother

[00:02:12] Or a sister or a brother

[00:02:14] He waited all these many years in vain

[00:02:18] Oh from early morning light

[00:02:21] He would wait till dark at night

[00:02:23] For the letter but alas it never came
