Thread Name: Lyr Add: No Letter in the Mail (from Bill Monroe)
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: NO LETTER IN THE MAIL
    D
  No answer to my letter
     A7                 D
  To soothe my aching heart
  Oh why did God ever permit
  True love like ours to part
   
      G             D
  No letter in the mail today
     G                D
  No answer from my love
   Bm                D
  Nobody knows what I've been through
      A       7    D
  No one but God above
  
  This is what I wrote to her
  I know that I'm to blame
  I know that I have brok'n your heart
  And then I signed my name
   
  I'm traveling down this road today
  Yes traveling my last time
  If there's no letter in the box
  I'm leaving this world behind
  
  
  [Bill Carlisle & Bobby Gregory, recorded by Bill Monroe, October 7, 1940]
