NO LETTER TODAY
Words and music by Frankie Brown
As recorded by Ted Daffan’s Texans (Chuck Keeshan and Leon Seago, vocalists), 1942. (Okeh 6706, Columbia 20266)

No letter today.
I have waited since dawn.
I’ve waited each day
Since you have been gone.

No letter today.
All the days are so long.
Oh, why don’t you write?
I know I was wrong.

Just give me one chance.
Please, won’t you forgive?
I’ll love you, my dear,
As long as I live.

I know it’s no use,
Though I hope and I pray.
The postman goes by.
No letter today.
